Welcome to Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Research Home in

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Dr. Dushyant Singh is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering Department at National Institute of Technology Manipur, India since Oct. 2015. He received his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, (IIT Delhi) in 2014, Master in mechanical engineering (CFD and Heat Transfer) in 2009 and Bachelors in mechanical engineering in 2007. Prior to joining NIT Manipur, he was working as a postdoctoral researcher in joint industrial research work “Ultra-super critical power plant” with BHEL industry in IIT Delhi.

Dr. Singh works in a general area of fluid flow and heat transfer with a focus on understanding the flow physics and heat transfer characteristics of the complex problem in advanced industry problem, along with experimentally and numerically of interest. He has previously worked with both experimental and numerical investigation for jet impingement heat transfer on a circular cylinder. The outcome of this work is definitely helpful in the direction of heat transfer enhancement or several engineering application such as cooling of turbine components, surface cooling of pipes carrying hot air in the aircraft cooling system food processing industry.

His current research is collaborative and directly practical engineering applications in industries. Other future works of research interest agenda focus on the question of how to leverage the advance in our understanding the flow physics and heat transfer enhancement.
