Brief biography

Dey was born to Bimalendu Dey (father) and Kana Dey (mother) in Jalpaiguri town, West Bengal, India in 1958. In 1987, he married Swastika Dey (née Talukdar); and they have a son, Sibasish, and a daughter, Sagarika.[22]

Career

Dey received B.E. degree in civil engineering from the University of North Bengal in 1981, MTech degree in water resources engineering and PhD degree in hydraulic engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1984 and 1992, respectively.[1][22] He started his professional career as a faculty of the National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, where he taught fluid mechanics and hydraulics from 1984 to 1998. Then, he joined as a faculty of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1998.[1]

Honors

Dey has become a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (FNA), Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc), National Academy of Sciences, India (FNASc) and Indian National Academy of Engineering (FNAE).[23] He received the JC Bose Fellowship award in 2018. He is the Vice President of the Council of World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER) (2019–2022). He served as a Council Member[24][25] of the World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER) (2011–2013) and the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) (2015-2019). He is also a Member of the IAHR Fluvial Hydraulics Committee. Dey is ranked among the 150 most cited researchers in civil engineering in Shanghai’s Global Ranking of Academics.

Contributions

He has developed various theories of hydrodynamics. He discovered the origin of the scaling laws of sediment transport and the onset of a straight river to meander. In turbulence, he developed universal probability density function for turbulent velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress and conditional Reynolds shear stresses in wall-shear flows. In fluvial hydraulics, he has contributed fundamental theories of sediment thresholds (also known as initiation of motion), discovered existence of negative hydrodynamic lift and non-universality of von Kármán constant. He has made pioneering contributions to the mechanism of scour at hydraulic structures. Besides, he has developed theories of secondary boundary layer in curved pipes, wall jets, seeping bed flows and turbulent bursting etc.
