Research Areas

Prof. Warrior has been working in the broad field of turbulence modeling as applied for Oceanography and Computational Fluid Dynamics. He has his fields of interest in Numerical Hydrodynamics both in the lab-scale as well as basin-scale flows. After joining the institute he has been active in research on ocean modeling and in CFD modeling using inudstry models and high-fidelity modeling. His recent work includes the hydrodynamics of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and their drag reduction. The performance of the AUVs under different conditions of operation has been studied. Prof. Warrior has also been recently involved in the DRDO projects for detection of underwater submarines using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The development of surface wakes like Kelvin wake, Bernoulli Hump etc are being investigated. The CFD modelling is also being validated by experimental results.
