Dynamics of liquid jet breakup and droplet size distribution in a crossflow airstream
Gowri Padmaja Majji, Aman John Tudu, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala +1
The fragmentation of a liquid jet in a crossflowing airstream arises from a complex interplay between aerodynamic forcing and interfacial instabilities acting across a wide range o…
Asymmetric freezing of a sliding droplet on an inclined surface
Sivanandan Kavuri, George Karapetsas, Chander Shekhar Sharma +1
We investigate the asymmetric freezing of a liquid droplet sliding on an inclined cold surface using numerical simulations based on the lubrication approximation. The combined effe…
Evaporation of a freely floating droplet in an airstream: effects of temperature, humidity, and shape oscillations
Shubham Chakraborty, Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Aman John Tudu +2
We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the evaporation dynamics of freely levitated water droplets in an upward airstream under varying temperatur…
Effect of velocity, fluid properties and drop shape on coalescence and neck oscillation
Manas Ranjan Behera, Hiranya Deka, Kirti Chandra Sahu +1
We perform axisymmetric numerical simulations to investigate the coalescence dynamics of a liquid drop in a deep liquid pool. This study aims to generalize the mechanisms of partia…
Unveiling crown-finger instability of a non-spherical drop impacting a liquid surface
Nagula Venkata Anirudh, Sachidananda Behera, Kirti Chandra Sahu
We present a three-dimensional numerical study of the splashing dynamics of non-spherical droplets impacting a quiescent liquid film, covering a wide range of aspect ratios (Ar) an…
