Lalit K. Rajendran works in engineering, focusing on experimental methods for studying fluid flow and aerodynamics, including techniques to measure friction and flow behavior on surfaces (such as the Luminescent Oil-Film Flow-Tagging method mentioned in the available record). The work relates to plasma-based flow control, computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, and aerosol/particle measurement, suggesting an interest in both experimental diagnostics and applied fluid mechanics problems relevant to aerospace engineering.
