Effect of initial Rayleigh mode on drop deformation under impulsive acceleration
Aditya Parik, Sandip Dighe, Tadd Truscott +1
One of the fundamental ways of representing a droplet shape is through its Rayleigh-modes, where each mode corresponds to distinct surface-energy. Previous studies have focused on…

On the Threshold of Drop Fragmentation under Impulsive Acceleration
Aditya Parik, Tadd Truscott, Som Dutta
Secondary fragmentation of an impulsively accelerated drop depends on fluid properties and velocity of the ambient. The critical Weber number , the minimum Webe…
