Dr. Arun K Saha (PhD, 1999, IIT Kanpur) has experience in experiments and numerical simulation in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The numerical and experimental work done by him has helped in improving the fundamental understanding of jets and wakes. Currently he works on active control of flow and heat transfer for drag reduction of vehicles and gas turbine respectively. He is an author of several research publications and chapters in textbooks. He has been with IIT Kanpur since November 2004.
Dr. Debopam Das (PhD, 1998, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore) works in the area of experimental and theoretical fluid mechanics. His research work encompasses both compressible flow and incompressible flow. Compressible flow research is primarily on flow and acoustic field associated with formation of compressible vortex ring and its interaction with shock, wall or other generic shape objects.  Incompressible flow research spans across different topics; transition of unsteady internal flow, free shear and buoyancy driven flows, unsteady aerodynamics of birds' and insects' flights. He has also designed and fabricated several flapping wing flying MAV’s of different sizes including a hovering MAV. In theoretical fluid dynamics, he has contributed towards an analytical solution method for unsteady internal flow when the pressure as well as the velocity is unknown. He is author of several research publications. He has been at IIT Kanpur since December 2001.
Dr. Rajesh Srivastava has worked extensively on numerical simulation of flow and transport through variably saturated porous media. His work provides significant insight into the transport of reactive solutes in porous media. His research finds applications in remediation of contaminated sites as well as mining of minerals through heap leaching. His present work focuses on the effect of climate change on water resources and inverse techniques for characterization of porous media and identification of possi
