Research Interests
Dr. Shukla's research interests are Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Convective Heat Transfer, Thermal Engineering, Turbulence Modelling, Simulation, RANS, LES, Heat Exchanger Simulation, Thermal Management of EV Batteries, Filtration, and Clean Air.
CFD is an important area of research that helps to understand the behavior of fluids, such as air and water, in motion. Convective Heat Transfer is the study of how heat is transferred through fluids in motion. Thermal Engineering is the application of thermodynamics to the design and operation of devices and systems that involve the transfer of heat. Turbulence Modelling is the study of the chaotic behavior of fluids in motion. Dr. Shukla's expertise in simulation techniques, including RANS and LES, enables him to predict and analyze the behavior of fluids in various industrial applications. Heat Exchanger Simulation is another area of interest for Dr. Shukla, where he focuses on designing and analyzing heat exchangers for various industrial applications. Thermal Management of EV Batteries is an important area of research, where Dr. Shukla aims to develop effective thermal management systems for electric vehicles to ensure optimum battery performance and longevity. Filtration and Clean Air are also areas of interest for Dr. Shukla, where he aims to develop effective filtration systems and technologies to improve indoor air quality and reduce air pollution.
Through his research interests, Dr. Shukla aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient technologies that can benefit society and the environment.
