Scramjet Combustion

Dr. Gautam Choubey is presently working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, India. He holds a PhD in the field of supersonic combustion and an M. Tech in thermal engineering from the National Institute of Technology Silchar, Assam, India. For the past 8 years, his research has focused on computational fluid dynamics modelling of supersonic compressible flow. Dr. Choubey has authored more than 30 publications in reputed SCI journals. His research interest mainly includes scramjet combustion, supersonic combustion, turbulence modelling in high-speed flows, and shock-boundary layer interaction. He also figured among top 2% researchers and scientists of the world in a report published by Stanford University (United States) and Elsevier BV (Netherlands) for the year 2020. Dr. Manvendra Tiwari is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Goa, India. He holds a PhD in the field of thermal engineering from Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST) Shibpur, West Bengal, India, and has a combined 16 years of experience in research, teaching, and industry. His research interests are focused on heat transfer enhancement, heat exchanger performance improvement, vehicle and engine testing, renewable energy applications, spacecraft technology, and supersonic combustion.
