Dr. R. Sivakumar

About
Research Area

Our theoretical research group is currently working in studying how magnetic field affects the flow and heat transfer properties of non-magnetic fluids and nanofluids. Apart from this, we also do research in frontier areas of nonlinear optics namely the understanding of pulse propagation in nonlinear optical media including those with negative refractive index. All these studies are executed by either analytical or numerical techniques that are contemporary to the subject area.
