Fluid flow and transport in the brain
- Modeling cerebrospinal fluid flow, interstitial fluid flow, and transport of waste proteins responsible for Alzheimer's disease in the brain cortex (Mukherjee & Tithof, Physical Review E, 2022; Watkins, Mukherjee & Tithof, Physical Review E, 2024).
- Modeling how ionic depolarization waves during seizures, stroke, and migraine drive cerebrospinal fluid flow in the brain (Mukherjee et al., Scientific Reports, 2023).
Interactions between fluid flow and bacteria
Modeling transport in flows involving bacteria and biofilms (Tai, Mukherjee et al., Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, 2022)
Front propagation in complex fluid flow
- Autocatalytic fronts propagate and change the background flow field of Rayleigh-Bénard convection rolls (Mukherjee & Paul, 2019 (Physical Review E), 2020 (Physical Review E), 2022 (Journal of Fluid Mechanics)).
