Combustion; turbulent reactive flows; conservation equations in reactive fields; physico-chemical thermodynamics

Professor Sohrab's research interest is in the general field of turbulent chemically-reactive hydrodynamics. He is currently involved in research on symmetric forms of conservation equations in chemically reactive flows as well as scale-invariant theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactive turbulent flows. His research also concerns particular aspects of turbulent combustion modeling involving premixed/diffusion flame extinction, flames in rotating flows, thermo-diffusive and hydrodynamic flame-front stability, flame-flame interactions, droplet and spray combustion, radiation in flames, polymer combustion, flame inhibition.
