Prof. Jaywant H Arakeri was in the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering department, the Centre for Product Design and Manufacture at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, till Jul 2022. He is currently an honorary professor at JNCaSR, Bangalore, and visiting professor at IIT, Jodhpur. All his education has been in aeronautical engineering, B.Tech. (IIT, Madras), M.E. (IISc), and Ph.D. (Caltech). His research is primarily focused on the fundamental understanding of various phenomena in fluid mechanics. Some of the questions being addressed in his lab relate to the role of turbulence in condensation and droplet growth in clouds; flows around flexible surfaces like fish tails and heart valves; instability of unsteady flows, including those with curvature, like those found in arteries; heat and moisture loss from soils and leaves; and thermal management in polyhouses and aeroponic chambers.
