Teaching Interests

Professor Jain’s teaching interests encompass core fluid mechanics and computational science subjects at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He emphasizes the integration of theory with practical problem-solving to build foundational understanding. His instruction encourages critical thinking and the application of mechanical principles to real-world challenges. Professor Jain actively involves students in research-oriented learning to deepen their grasp of complex engineering concepts.

Research Interests

Professor Jain's research interests include computational modeling of fluid flows (multiphase flows; turbulent flows; compressible flows; and fluid-structure interaction) with a current focus on modeling atomization, sprays, and phase change for propulsion applications; ice accretion and aerodynamics for sustainable energy and aerospace design; and air-sea interaction modeling for understanding climate change; and modeling of fluid-solid and solid-solid systems for biomedical and high-speed applications. Through the integration of numerical modeling, high-performance computing, and data-driven approaches, Jain aims to address key challenges in these areas.
