Research

Dr. Mazumder's primary research interest is in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with an emphasis on reacting flows. Application areas include combustion, catalytic conversion, fuel processing/reforming, fuel cells (PEMFC, SOFC and DMFC), and chemical vapor deposition including growth of compound semiconductors. The research in these areas focus on developing physical models to address the complex phenomena underlying these systems/processes, and coupling their interactions through state-of-the-art numerical methods and algorithms. Other areas of interest include thermal radiation and its applications, development of advanced numerical techniques (both deterministic and stochastic), and modeling of non-equilibrium phenomena.
