Correlative effects of induced magnetic field-buoyancy on reactive solute dispersion dynamics in couple-stress fluids
Aritra Roy, Debabrata Das, Pranab Kumar Mondal
We investigate the dispersion of a reactive solute in a couple-stress fluid flowing between two parallel plates under the combined effects of pressure-driven flow, buoyancy, and an…
Plant-On-a-Disc (POD): A Phytofluidic platform enabling In Situ Root Analysis
Kaushal Agarwal, Sumit Kumar Mehta, Pranab Kumar Mondal
Phytofluidic platforms have enabled controlled studies of plant roots, however, most existing systems either impose geometric confinement without flow or introduce hydrodynamics in…
Phytoscale Transport Physics: Insights into Xylem Flow Homeostasis and Drought Stress
Jinmay Kalita, Sumit Kumar Mehta, Suraj Panja +1
We investigate the flow dynamics of nutrient solution through the xylem vessels of Brassica juncea under drought stress. To this end, we perform experiments to obtain morphological…
Unveiling nutrient flow mediated stress in the plant roots using on-chip phytofluidic device
Kaushal Agarwal, Sumit Kumar Mehta, Pranab Kumar Mondal
The initial emergence of the primary root from a germinating seed is a pivotal phase that influences a plant's survival. Abiotic factors such as pH, nutrient availability, and soil…
