Research Statement

Mungal investigates mixing and chemical reaction in turbulent flows at subsonic and supersonic speeds using PLIF and PIV. Interests include physical modeling, mixing enhancements, very high Reynolds number flows, shear layers, jets in coflow and crossflow, plasma actuated flows, drag reduction with polymer addition, drag effects due to geometrical shape changes (e.g. cacti), vehicle drag reduction and windpower.
