computer hardware and software’s worth $2,000,000. Currently the lab has more
than 10 SUN & 1 SGI workstations for visualization and computing. They were all
served by SUN 4 processor system with 1 Terabytes of disk space and 4 Gbytes of
Ram space. The high performance computing is performed in two types of parallel
computing systems. The shared memory computing system (SUN4500) has 8 processor

bridges, thermal management of electronic devices, multiphase flow modeling of
spray cooling, modeling the growth of grain boundary in nanocrystals and
improving the strength of concrete using nano science were instrumental in
getting selected as the first James T.
Womble Professor of Computational Mechanics and Nanotechnology Modeling in
2005.

A total of
$5.5 Million research funding was brought through the University and
$670,000 through Power Electronics
Leveling Solutions LLC as Chief Technology Officer and Partner to support
graduate program.
5.
Received
Best paper award from two International Conferences (STAIF-2005 &
IMAPS-2001),

The
Computational Mechanics Laboratory
was started in 1998 with initial funding from DOD. As the Director of the CM
Lab, I maintained and extended the lab facility to have state of the art
computing. Currently it has high performance computers worth more than $1.5
Million.
7.
Interacted as Co-PI
with Dr. Amy Apon to get equipment support from NSF to have
high performance computer facility
for the

The work on computer modeling of tornado forces on building appeared in the news
media to the extent that it is the most
widely disseminated science news release from the college of engineering and
with one possible exception, from the entire
University in the year 2000.
9.
Published more than
160 papers in journals (43), books (64) and conference proceeding
(62)

The Computational
Mechanics Laboratory is the leader in
initiating the modeling work on spray cooling. The spray cooling is
considered to be most preferable cooling concept for high power electronic
devices. We explained the underlying mechanism of transient heat conduction in
removing high heat flux through multiphase flow modeling in 2004. This led to
research support of more than $1.5 million from AFRL, ONR and NASA. Even at this
time we are the only who has done modeling of spray cooling using computational
fluid dynamics principles.
11.
Research performed on
spray cooling for the last four years led me to become the
partner and Chief Technology Officer of
the Power Electronics Leveling Solutions LLC and instrumental in bringing
$670,000 as SBIR Phase I and II
funding to the state of
12.
My research findings with regard to the forces created on buildings due to
tornado may lead to the safer design of buildings in the future.
The work performed at the

The computer model developed to compute the
critical velocity for flutter is used
by Aerodynamics Laboratory, DOT to design safer bridges. The model can calculate
the flutter velocity in a month where as the wind tunnel may take about three
months and $100,000.
14.
Became a member of the editorial board of
International Journal of Wind & Structures from May 2006 and reviewed papers
for more than 12 journals.
15.
I have been taking a leading role in the department in developing external
funding from federal agencies like Department of Defense (DOD), NASA, Department
of Transportation (DOT), Department of Energy (DOE), NOAA, National Science
Foundation (NSF) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the last six
years.
16.
The computational modeling has been applied for wind engineering, tornado forces
on buildings, bridge aerodynamics, pollutant transport, pavement analysis,
thermal stress analysis of electronic packaging, thermal management, spray
cooling and nanomechanics
17.
Our tornado modeling figure was selected for the
front page of the Second International
Symposium on Advances in Wind & structures.
18.
Our tornado write up appeared as the
front page of NSF Mathematics division web page for more than year from
2005.
19.
Work on Spray cooling appeared in the
popular engineering magazine Sensors
in Jan. 2006. Work on tornado
appeared in the popular engineering magazines
Structural Engineer and Weatherwise
in 2003. Work on bridge flutter appeared in engineering magazines
ASCE Civil Engineering, NSPE Orders and
Buttelle’s in 2001.
20.
Tornado work appeared in the Washington
Post in 2003 and Bridge flutter work in
21.
My work on tornado modeling (in 2001) and bridge flutter (in 2002) appeared in
the University widely circulated
University of Arkansas Profile.
22.
Selected as the
Summer Visiting Faculty to EPA (1993), Wright Patterson Air Force Base,
23.
I have been invited
as visiting faculty at the
24.
My paper,” wind speed over irregular terrain: state of
the art”, referred in Wind Engineering
text book.
25.
Our paper, Computer modeling of flow around bridges using
LES and FEM, referred in Design of
Buildings and Bridges for Wind text book.
26.
My report,” Numerical simulation of thunderstorm downdrafts”, referred in Australian Wind load code commentary.

The following are the rankings of my
research and total productivity point taken from the department yearly
report: It can be seen that from the year 1991,
I have been in the top one or two
rankings 14 out of 15 years in research.
