What We Do: Try to Understand Nature and Explain it with Mathematics.^©

Applied Mathematics: From nature to physics to mathematics and back.^©

To do Science, you need three things: I and WE^©: Idea, Will and Environment.

.... ... . Wrong things cannot be useful. All models are right within their scope, and do what they are supposed to do if handled appropriately.^©

If you believe you're halfway there,
you will never reach the final destination at any finite time.^©

Research Collaboration with Kathmandu University, Nepal

Postgraduate research scholars and PhD research fellows at Kathmandu University, School of Science, are involved in the innovative, and physics-based mathematical modelling, computer simulations and applications of complex multi-phase mass flows in collaboration with the University of Bonn. The approach is multidisciplinary, and consists of both the basic understanding of the fact, and its applications in science, technology and natural events. This covers, the advanced mathematics, physics, mechanics, flow dynamics, high-resolution and efficient computational aspects of the general mass flows as a mixture of solid particles and the interstitial non-Newtonian viscous fluids. The mathematical results and analytical solutions are not only important as noble findings but also have their applications in constraining the advanced simulations. Scientific computings are performed for varied physical and material parameters and settings as required by different geophysical and industrial mass flow scenarios. Application includes, in nature, the granular flows, rock and snow avalanches, subaerial and submarine landslides, flow of solid-fluid mixture materials, debris flows, and particle transport in the Himalaya, the mountain terrains, valleys and hydraulic channels such as the hydropower and irrigation plants. Similarly, the same modelling and simulation techniques can be applied to describe the flow dynamics in process engineering, production plants and industries. Some related references are:
