The Kathmandu Institute of Complex Flows aims to fundamentally contribute with scientific and technological innovations with cutting-edge solutions to long-standing problems in physical, engineering, environmental, and earth sciences applying the most sophisticated physical, analytical, observational, and computational methods.
The institute aims to address great challenges in complex, multi-phase flows focusing their applications in solving problems in industrial, environmental, physical, and mathematical sciences. The institute is concerned with understanding the flow dynamics and impacts of often complex and catastrophic natural flows and industrial flows taking place without notice: How it flows – where it goes – how far – and with what force.
The Kathmandu Institute of Complex Flows is the first of this kind in the Himalayan Republic of Nepal. The institute leads meaningful research, innovation, science, and application in diverse areas of complex multi-phase flows in Nepal with internationally appreciable standards.

The Nepnova – Innovation Flows focuses on the measurements of the physical properties of the complex materials, and the flow dynamical, depositional and morphological characteristics of the associated sophisticated flows. The measured quantities are utilized to calibrate, verify, and validate the physical-mathematical theories, principles, hypotheses and propositions put forward in the institute and beyond. This paves ways to apply our novel ideas and concepts to real industrial flows and natural events aiming at the benefit of the international society.
The Kathmandu Institute of Complex Flows is directed by the world-renowned scientist and inventor, Distinguished Professor Dr. Shiva P. Pudasaini, and supported by established physical-applied and computational scientists, Prof. Dr. Parameshwari Kattel, Prof. Dr. Puskar R. Pokhrel, Asst. Prof. Dr. Jeevan Kafle, and other research fellows in this multi-disciplinary field.
