Research Statement
Venkat is currently working on developing a
lattice-based cellular automata (CA) model and experimental rig for
studying granular flows. Understanding granular flows is critical for
granular lubrication. Cellular automata are simple, flexible, robust,
computationally inexpensive modeling approaches. CA has the potential
to model some of the complex cases which have been left unanswered by
theoretical and particle dynamics models. A coquette setup for granular
flow is built. Currently, instrumentation for measuring tribological
relevant data is being done.
