Research

Computational research across hydrogen combustion, aerospace exhaust, and nonlinear dynamics.

Research at Anisotropic Labs is organised around physically grounded questions in CFD, combustion, and aerospace engineering — tested through simulation, validated against experiment, and communicated with methodological transparency.

Research Areas

Active domains in computational physics and aerospace engineering.

Area 01

Hydrogen Combustion & Stratification

CFD analysis of mixing non-uniformity in multi-jet hydrogen combustors, using H₂O mass fraction as a stratification proxy in annular geometries.

Area 02

Aerospace Exhaust & Contrails

Near-field exhaust simulations across hydrogen and kerosene configurations, with saturation-ratio analysis for contrail formation potential.

Area 03

Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

Computational study of friction-governed pendulum dynamics, validated against 240 fps motion-tracking with 98.5% predictive accuracy.
