CFD Simulation of Fluid-body interaction of vehicle driven through water : Performing simulation on a car moving through high level of water surface, considering the force due to buoyancy exerted by the water on the vehicle and dynamic weight transfer during the acceleration of the vehicle. Calculation of the lifting force acting on the car and also simulating the lifting of car as a result of the forces acting on it.

Constitutive modelling of aerogels under compression : Diffusion Limited Cluster Aggregation (DLCA) algorithm for particle aggregation was developed using MATLAB and implementation of inter-particle forces by DLVO theory. Bending theory approach (FEM) - successfully developed a model assuming the fiber bending properties to vary linearly.
