Current Research

Dr. Buddhi Hewakandamby's current research interests are in the area fluid dynamics including multiphase flows, microfluidics and convective heat transfer. Current research investigates droplet generation, propagation and interactions within microfluidic devices using experiments as well as numerical simulations. He is also interested in thin film dynamics. For more informations about research interests, visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/~enzbnh/
