Inelastic spreading of viscoelastic drops
Mete Abbot, Thijs Varkevisser, Manglesh Singh +3
When a liquid drop impacts a solid surface, rebound and splashing are known to be suppressed by additives that induce elastic effects; however, the influence of elasticity on the m…
Mechanics-guided parametric modeling of intranasal spray devices and formulations for targeted drug delivery to the nasopharynx
Md Tariqul Hossain, Abir Malakar, Mohammad Yeasin +10
Improving the efficacy of nasal sprays by enhancing targeted drug delivery to intra-airway tissue sites prone to infection onset is hypothesized to be achievable through an optimiz…
Lift augmentation by incorporating bend twist coupled composites in flapping wing
Rahul Kumar, Devranjan Samanta, Srikant S. Padhee
Drawing inspiration from the adaptive wing shape of birds in flight, this study introduces a bio-inspired concept for shape adaptation utilizing bend-twist coupling (BTC) in compos…
The fluid dynamics of liquid mushrooms
Akshay Manoj Bhaskaran, Arnov Paul, Apurba Roy +2
Droplets that impact the surface of a deep liquid pool may form a vertical jet after the cavity formation event, provided they have sufficient impact energy. Depending on the assoc…
