Super Cyclone Amphan: A Dynamical Case Study

Sridhar Balasubramanian, Vamsi K Chalamalla

Cyclone Amphan, a super cyclone in the Bay of Bengal after 21 years, intensified from a cyclonic storm (CAT 1) to a super cyclone (CAT 5) in less than 36 hours. It went on to make…

Dynamics of a buoyant plume in a linearly stratified environment using simultaneous PIV-PLIF measurements

Harish N Mirajkar, Sridhar Balasubramanian

The presence of stratified layer in atmosphere and ocean leads to buoyant vertical motions, commonly referred to as plumes. It is important to study the mixing dynamics of a plume…
