TuRbulent Interfaces And Dispersion (TRIAD)
TuRbulent Interfaces And Dispersion (TRIAD)
Turbulent transport phenomena involving interfaces are central to many industrial and environmental applications. For example, predicting mass and energy transfer between different phases affects the design of boilers, chemical reactors, combustion chambers, heat exchangers, wastewater treatment processes, and many others. Even in the case of natural processes like ocean-atmosphere interactions, Tsunamis, storms, and cyclones, turbulence at interfaces play a significant role. In such systems, the overall mass and energy transfer between the fluid phases depends on the local transport phenomena, say at the interface of each bubble, droplet or particle belonging to the system. Turbulence structures at the liquid-liquid or gas-liquid or gas-liquid-solid interfaces, responsible for the intensity of the local convective effects, are also responsible for the interface deformations. The stresses that modify the local turbulent features result in a non-trivial coupling between the phases involved.

Our group aims to reveal complex science like wave breaking, high heat transport rates, extreme event predictions, and gas exchange rates between interfaces when turbulence plays a crucial role. Using high-fidelity numerical simulations, advanced deep learning algorithms and neural networks, we unravel turbulent features to accelerate next-generation exascale computations.
