Bubble coalescence phenomenon in electrolytic media finds applications in technologies from mineral flotation to electrochemical energy conversion. However, the underlying governin…
On the deformation of a shear thinning viscoelastic drop in a steady electric field
Sarika Shivaji Bangar, Gaurav Tomar
The deformation of viscoelastic drops under electric fields plays a crucial role in applications such as microfluidics, inkjet printing, and electrohydrodynamic manipulation of com…
Role of Transient Dynamics in Dripping-Jetting Transition in Newtonian Fluids
Kishorkumar Sarva, Tejas G Murthy, Gaurav Tomar
Dripping dynamics has been well studied over the past century and forms a classic example of chaotic system in physics. With an increase in the inlet flow rate, periodic droplet fo…
Reemergence of Trampolining in a Leidenfrost Droplet
Pranjal Agrawal, Gaurav Tomar, Susmita Dash
The levitating Leidenfrost (LF) state of a droplet on a heated substrate is often accompanied by fascinating behaviors such as star-shaped deformations, self-propulsion, bouncing,…
Interface reconstruction and advection schemes for volume of fluid method in axisymmetric coordinates
Ananthan M, Gaurav Tomar
Volume of fluid(VOF) method is a sharp interface method employed for simulations of two phase flows. Interface in VOF is usually represented using piecewise linear line segments in…
