ADBU Civil Engineering Faculty Makes a Mark in International Research with Publication in Ocean Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering, Assam Don Bosco University, proudly celebrates the research achievement of Mr. Subhrangshu Purkayastha, Assistant Professor, whose research paper titled “Effect of Rear-Base Curvature on Hydrodynamic Loading and Wake Transition of a Sharp-Nosed Bluff Body at Low Reynolds Numbers”, developed as part of his PhD research, has been published in Ocean Engineering, an international peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier. Co-authored with Dr. Mohammad Saud Afzal, Associate Professor, IIT Kharagpur, the paper investigates the influence of rear-base curvature on fluid forces, vortex shedding and wake characteristics of bluff bodies using computational fluid dynamics. The study contributes to a better understanding of complex flow behaviour and its implications for hydrodynamic engineering applications. This achievement highlights the department’s commitment to quality research, academic excellence and meaningful contributions to the advancement of engineering knowledge.
