Wetting and wrapping of a floating droplet by a thin elastic filament
S Ganga Prasath, Joel Marthelot, Narayanan Menon +1
We study the wetting of a thin elastic filament floating on a fluid surface by a droplet of another, immiscible fluid. This quasi-2D experimental system is the lower-dimensional co…
Spatio-temporal relationships between rainfall and convective clouds during Indian Monsoon through a discrete lens
Arjun Sharma, Adway Mitra, Vishal Vasan +1
The Indian monsoon, a multi-variable process causing heavy rains during June-September every year, is very heterogeneous in space and time. We study the relationship between rainfa…
Early evolution of optimal perturbations in a viscosity-stratified channel
Ritabrata Thakur, Arjun Sharma, Rama Govindarajan
This work shows how the early stages of perturbation growth in a viscosity-stratified flow are different from those in a constant-viscosity flow, and how nonlinearity is a crucial…
Waves, Algebraic Growth and Clumping in Sedimenting Disk Arrays
Rahul Chajwa, Narayanan Menon, Sriram Ramaswamy +1
An array of spheres descending slowly through a viscous fluid always clumps [J.M. Crowley, J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 45}, 151 (1971)]. We show that anisotropic particle shape qualitative…
