Synthetic space bricks from lunar and martian regolith via sintering
Nitin Gupta, Vineet Dawara, Aloke Kumar +1
The prospect of establishing extra-terrestrial habitats using in situ resource utilization (ISRU) constitutes a long-term goal of multiple space agencies around the world. In this…
Diffusion dynamics of star-shaped macromolecules in dilute solutions
Prabeen Kumar Pattnayak, Aloke Kumar, Gaurav Tomar
Polymer chains dissolved in a solvent take random conformations due to large internal degrees of freedom and are characterized geometrically by their average shape and size. The di…
Shock induced atomisation of a liquid metal droplet
Shubham Sharma, Navin Kumar Chandra, Aloke Kumar +1
The present study uses Galinstan as a test fluid to investigate the shock-induced aerobreakup of a liquid metal droplet in a high Weber number regime (We ~ 400 - 8000). Atomization…
Depth from Defocus Technique Applied to Unsteady Shock-Drop Secondary atomization
Shubham Sharma, Saini Jatin Rao, Navin Kumar Chandra +3
The two-sensor depth from defocus (DFD) technique for the measurement of drop sizes in a spray is further developed to achieve higher spatial and temporal resolution, to improve es…
Newtonian coalescence in colloidal and non-colloidal suspensions
Abhineet Singh Rajput, Sarath Chandra Varma, Aloke Kumar
Coalescence event in pendant and sessile drop is distinguished by the formation and evolution of the liquid bridge created upon singular contact. The bridge radius, , is known t…
Sub-Newtonian coalescence in polymeric fluids
Abhineet Singh Rajput, Sarath Chandra Varma, Aloke Kumar
We present a theoretical framework for capturing the coalescence of a pendant drop with a sessile drop in polymeric fluids. The framework is based on the unification of various con…
