Dr. M.Ganapathirao

Dr. Ganapathirao is an Assistant Professor in Mathematics & Basic Sciences area in NU. He completed his B.Sc. from Andhra University in 2004. He completed his M.Sc. and M.Phil, Mathematics from Central University of Pondicherry in 2009 and 2010, respectively. He did his Ph.D. in Mathematics from NIT, Tiruchirappalli. Dr. Ganapathirao has published 8 research papers in International Journals of repute.

Research Specialization:

Dr. Ganapathirao’s research interests lie in fluid dynamics. He works on unsteady (as well as steady) mixed convection, laminar boundary layer flow problems with surface mass transfer (suction/injection). He is particularly interested in fluid flow problems with non-uniform slot suction/injection. Ganapathirao uses numerical simulation to study mixed convection, laminar, unsteady flow problems. Problems he has worked on in the past include flow over a vertical cone, wedge, stretching sheet and plate. He has considered these works under various physical effects.
