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…

Impulse-driven capillary detachment
Dilip Kr. Maity, Sandip Dighe, Nilamani Sahoo +1
Capillary interfaces subjected to impulsive forcing arise in many natural and technological systems, yet the pathway by which rapid substrate motion is converted into droplet detac…

Rayleigh-Plateau Instability on an angled and eccentric fiber: An alternative approach
Dilip Kumar Maity, Christopher Wagstaff, Sandip Dighe +1
This research explores the modulation of Rayleigh-Plateau instability by adjusting the orientation angle and eccentricity of a wire within a nozzle. We demonstrate that both the an…
