Heat Transfer in Space applications: Major areas of research involves film/regenerative cooling of liquid rocket thrust chambers, liquid rocket engine cycle analysis, cryogenic two phase flow, plume radiation modeling of solid rocket motors, micro nozzles associated with attitude control, and gas turbine blade cooling, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Method.
Biofluid Mechanics and Heat ransfer: Major works include the development of computational models to study the effect of plaque geometry on coronary artery wall, development of human thermoregulation model, analysis of thermoregulatory mechanisms, models for investigating aneurysm initiation, hypoplastic arteries, lung aerodynamics.
General Heat Transfer studies - Natural convection heat transfer, Microchannel flows, etc.
Dr. Shine's research spans various aspects of computational fluid mechanics, with a primary focus on heat transfer and fluid flow in space applications, including the cooling of rocket thrust chambers, cryogenic two-phase flows, and micro nozzles. He also investigates smart healthcare and medicine by developing bio-fluid and heat transfer models for coronary and brain arteries and human thermoregulation models. Dr. Shine has extensively studied the hemodynamics of the arteries in the circle of Willis (CoW) to identify potential initiation sites for cerebral aneurysms. He is the principal investigator for several significant space-related projects, including developing human thermoregulation models, analyzing satellite thrusters, and developing thermal management systems for General Purpose Humanoid Robot with Human-like Degrees of Freedom. Also leads the Indian Team of the SIRIUS-23 experiment. The current focus is on developing an analytical human thermoregulation model for a reference Indian to accurately evaluate the thermal comfort of an astronaut wearing an LCG and performing EVA.
