Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power: Select Proceedings of Fmfp 2021

This book presents the select proceedings of the 48^th National Conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (FMFP 2021) held at BITS Pilani in December 2021. It covers the topics such as fluid mechanics, measurement techniques in fluid flows, computational fluid dynamics, instability, transition and turbulence, fluid‐structure interaction, multiphase flows, micro- and nanoscale transport, bio-fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, turbomachinery, propulsion and power. The book will be useful for researchers and professionals interested in the broad field of mechanics.

Dr. Suvanjan Bhattacharyya is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus. Dr. Bhattacharyya completed his post-Doctoral research from the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa, under the supervision of Prof. Josua P Meyer. Dr. Bhattacharyya completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India and with the collaboration of Dusseldorf University of Applied Sciences, Germany. He received his master’s degree from Indian Institute of Engineering, Science and Technology, India (Formerly known as Bengal Engineering and Science University), on Heat-Power Engineering. His research interest lies in computational fluid dynamics in fluid flow and heat transfer, specializing on laminar, turbulent, steady, unsteady separated flows and convective heat transfer, experimental heat transfer enhancement, solar energy, and renewable energy.He is the author and co-author of 90 papers in high ranked journals and prestigious conference proceedings. Dr. Suvanjan appears in the recent list of World’s top 2% scientists published by faculty members of Stanford University.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Ali Cemal Benim is a Professor for Energy Technology at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, at the Faculty of Mechanical and Process Engineering, currently leading the Center of Flow Simulation (CFS) and has been continuously active in mathematical modelling and computational simulation of fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer in a broad range of engineering applications, quite often in cooperation with industrial companies. He authored and co-authored over 150 publications in a number of fields including finite element methods in flow problems, the finite analytic method, Navier-Stokes solution techniques, the lattice Boltzmann method, turbulence modeling, combustion modeling (gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels), gasification, convective and radiative heat transfer, metal flow with phase change, two-phase flows, erosion, turbomachinery, internal and external aerodynamics as well as biofluid dynamics. Prof. Benim is the Executive Editor of Progress in Computational Fluid Dynamics – An International Journal and has editorial positions in a number of further international journals along with his organizational activities in many international conferences.
