Dr Mitra’s research interests encompass complex hydrodynamics of multiphase flow systems specifically interfacial flow problems involving droplet, bubble and particle dynamics. Dr Mitra’s work utilises high speed imaging to capture the small scale interaction dynamics, thermal imaging for temperature measurement, particle image velocimetry (PIV) for flow measurement; and computational modelling of these interactions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) approach. He is currently associated with the Center for Advanced Particle Processing and Transport and the Center for Iron Making Research.
