My research covers fundamental fluid mechanics together with its applications in environmental and industrial processes. In particular, I plan to focus my research on "sustainable indoor and outdoor flows" and "sustainable transport".
The urban population has grown from 30% in 1950 to 54% today, with a projected increase to 66% by 2050. According to a recent assessment by the world health organization (WHO), air pollution in both ambient (outdoor) and household (indoor) spaces is the biggest environmental risk to health. Each year, air pollution is responsible for the death of one in every nine persons. And due to poor air quality, just one out of every ten people reside in cities that meet WHO standards. For example, in the UK, outdoor and indoor air pollution were the seventh and eighth leading causes of death in 2019, respectively. As a result, enhanced knowledge and better engineering design of indoor and outdoor environments are essential for creating healthier lifestyles.
Here, I list some of my recent academic and extracurricular projects.
I am editing a special issue in Entropy (IF 2.7) on hybrid LES-RANS studies. The submission deadline is July 2024 (see details).
Successfully completed the fruitful programme of "Foundations of Teaching and Learning" in five modules at The University of Manchester (May 2023).
I apply hybrid LES-RANS models to wall-bounded flows to make LES with a proper estimation of wall-shear stress.
