Our Research Themes

Industrial Process Safety

CFD simulations can enhance the understanding and prediction of hazardous phenomena in industrial processes to improve overall safety and risk management.

Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)

Our CFD simulations help us assess and minimize worker exposure to workplace hazards by optimizing ventilation and PPE, leading to healthier, safer work environments.

Indoor Air Quality

CFD provides a crucial tool for IAQ investigation, modeling pollutant ingress, human exposure and dispersion in indoor environments.

Air Pollution

CFD is used to air pollution research to simulate how pollutants spread and change in various environments, aiding in air quality improvement and forecasting.

Multiphase Flows

CFD can simulate the complex interactions between different phases (gas, liquid, solid) to optimize industrial processes, and design efficient equipment, among others.

Chemical Reactor Engineering

We are applying advanced numerical simulations to optimize, design chemical reactors, intricate reaction kinetics, and coupled heat and mass transfer phenomena.

Public Health

Our research explores how CFD is revolutionizing public health by simulating everything from airborne disease transmission to optimal ventilation designs, providing crucial insights for healthier communities.
