Deepak Kumar
Dr.
Deepak Kumar
is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgapur. He holds a B.Tech degree from NIT Jamshedpur, and subsequently earned his M.Tech and Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati. Dr. Kumar’s research interests lie in the field of fluid mechanics, with a particular focus on bluff body flows, laminar and low Reynolds number flows, hydrodynamic stability, and linear stability analysis. His work explores various aspects of flow control—especially passive control approaches involving splitter plates—as well as wakes, jets, flow separation, and vortex shedding phenomena. He actively utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools, with a specialization in the finite element method, to conduct his research. Dr. Kumar has published several research papers in reputed international journals, including a notable publication in Physics of Fluids (AIP Publishing). He also serves as a reviewer for multiple peer-reviewed journals, including Physics of Fluids.
