- Influence of surface active agents on the multiphase flows
- Powder rheology, sedimentation of polydisperse granular mixtures
- Numerical simulations of the gas-liquid and granular systems (with Fluent, CFX, DEM)
- Flow of a liquid or gas-liquid dispersions in channels or microchannels
- Complex rheological behavior of microdispersions
- Theory, methodology and new application of electrodiffusion diagnostics
