Research Area

Research area focuses on both experimental and numerical field.  The main areas of research are:

• Experimental applied fluid mechanics 
• Coastal Engineering
  
• Wind Engineering 
• Hurricane and severe storm studies
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Sediment Transport, scour and erosion
• Hydraulics, river engineering and water resources

Field Work

Conducting field investigation in the north Gulf of Mexico coast, as a member of coastal engineering research group at Louisiana state University (LSU). Investigating wave flow structure and wave energy attenuation by coastal vegetation, in order to evaluate vegetation effects on coastal erosion mitigation.

---

Experimental Study

Conducted experimental tests in the wind engineering, at the Clemson University boundary layer wind tunnel. Other experimental research were conducted are: Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dams, and sediment transport (Scour around bridge pier)

---

CFD Study

Modeled the wind engineering problems as well as the environmental fluid mechanics, using FLUENT CFD package.
