Welcome to the Boundary Layers and Turbulence (BLT) Lab at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering led by Associate Professor Tirtha Banerjee.

Research Statement

Exchange of scalar (such as carbon dioxide, heat or trace gases), momentum and energy between the atmosphere and the elements of the ecosystem such as land, vegetation and water is controlled by turbulence or multi-scale organized eddy motions. Our core research interest lies in identifying the governing laws of such interactions across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales using a variety of theoretical, numerical and experimental tools.
