Profile

Desanga is currently developing computational methods to improve the understanding and design of next-generation nuclear power plants. The research is based on developing and integrating bespoke Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workflows which can deliver computationally efficient outcomes. 

The current research interests:

  1. Development of low-order computational methods on engineering applications
  2. Development of data-driven models using machine learning methods for industrial fluid dynamics applications.
  3. Development of novel multi-physics computational approaches to model the complex engineering applications.
  4. Turbulence modelling of complex flow fields using high-fidelity turbulent models such as Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS)
  5. High-speed flow physics and simulations.
