Chethan Mohan Kumar's topic of research dealed with experimental and numerical study of cleaning processes with jet flow dynamics. Multi-scale CFD modelling of thin film removal with rotating impinging jets by coupling Volume of Fluid and thin film model was the main focus of his work. Further research interests included experimental studies on particle re-suspension, modelling of porous media and multiphase flows in general.
