Research Projects

Modelling the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) during its passage over the Indian Ocean and the Maritime Continent (2015–2018) - Analyzed the simulations of the MJO activity performed with the atmospheric model Meso-NH and compared them with TRMM satellite data (data analysis and visualisation was done with NCL).

Prediction of the impact consequences based on observations of meteoroids (2012–2015) - Participated in the development of the analytical method for describing the impact consequences of the collisions of cosmic bodies with the surface of a planet. Wrote the code in Matlab for the application of this method to real meteoroid data.

Review and analytical investigation of the influence of roughness and blowing on the turbulent boundary layer (2012–2013) - Made a review of different approaches for simulation the boundary layer on a flat plate with a rough surface. Proposed a hypothesis for the modification of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model in case of blowing.

Transition to chaotic motions in penetrative convection (2007-2012) - Investigated numerically the transition to turbulence for the plane horizontal layer of water. Wrote the code in C/C++ based on the pseudospectral method.
