Summary
Rupak Bhowmik
I'm a research scholar at IIT Guwahati, exploring pore-scale simulation in porous media using OpenFOAM and MRST. My academic journey began with schooling in Tripura under the TBSE board, continued at NIT Agartala for my Bachelor's, and culminated at IIT Guwahati for my Master's. My research interests primarily revolve around Computational Fluid Dynamics, Multi-phase flow in Porous Media, and Suspension Flow.
