| Short Description of the Research Theme |
The group focuses on developing and applying both numerical and analytical solution techniques for ordinary and partial differential equations arising in diverse scientific and engineering contexts. Emphasis is placed on problems in fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, fractional calculus, fuzzy systems, and epidemiology, where modeling complexity often prevents closed-form solutions. Using methods such as finite difference, finite element, Runge–Kutta, homotopy analysis, and fractional-order operators, the group formulates efficient and accurate solution strategies. The research also explores hybrid approaches combining analytical insights with computational algorithms to tackle nonlinearity, uncertainty, and multi-scale effects. Through this integrated approach, the group aims to provide robust, versatile frameworks for analyzing and predicting system behavior, contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical problem-solving in science, engineering, and public health. |
