Research interests

Fundamental principles of intensification of heat and mass transfer in vortex and separated flows.

Flows on permeable surfaces in the presence of condensation, evaporation and combustion.

Study of heat exchange control methods (intensification and suppression) in elements of heat power equipment.

Wall jets and gas curtains. Gas-dynamic methods of thermal protection.

Two-phase turbulent flows under complex thermogasdynamic conditions. Dispersed, gas-droplet, and gas-liquid flows and heat transfer.
The main scientific results

The laws of turbulent friction, heat, and mass transfer under porous suction of the boundary layer under highly nonisothermal conditions were studied for the first time. Using asymptotic boundary layer theory, methods for calculating flows with selective suction were developed, and the existence of a limiting value for the permeability parameter was demonstrated.

A wide range of swirling and vortex flows was investigated. The contribution of centrifugal mass forces to the suppression or intensification of heat transfer was demonstrated. The conditions for hydrodynamic vortex stabilization of low-temperature plasma in vortex reactors were studied. Devices for conducting intensive heat and mass transfer processes in the presence of a fluidized bed of a dispersed phase were developed.

The boundary layer was experimentally studied in the presence of injection and diffusion combustion. Strong turbulence suppression effects in the flame front due to intense energy release were established.

A new, extensive database of experimental data on flow structure, turbulent characteristics, and convective heat transfer in separated flows behind various obstacles (steps, sudden expansions, ribs, cavities of various configurations, trench-like depressions, obstacle systems, etc.) was obtained. Individual characteristics, as well as general patterns of flow separation formation, were identified. Empirical relationships for transfer coefficients in the presence of vortex generators of various geometries were obtained.

A series of experimental studies of curtain cooling characteristics in highly turbulent flows at subsonic and supersonic flow regimes was conducted. A strong influence of turbulence intensity (by a factor of 2-3) on the reduction of the curtain’s thermal protection properties was demonstrated. Ways to improve cooling efficiency by injecting coolant into a trench on the wall are proposed.

The heat and mass transfer characteristics of indirect evaporative gas cooling (the Maisotsenko cycle) were studied. The cycle’s limiting capabilities were demonstrated for various working fluids and design configurations.

A wide range of problems involving two-phase flows in channels and pipes, free and wall jets, and vortex and separated flows were numerically studied. Regimes with strong heat transfer intensification and zones with strong turbulence suppression due to the dispersed phase were identified.
