Research interests
Prof. Huilgol's current research is in the thermo-fluid mechanics of viscoplastic materials, with a special emphasis into injection moulding problems. Specifically, this is based on his discovery of operator-splitting methods for the flows of incompressible and compressible viscoplastic fluids in the presence of heat transfer and inertia.
