Ambient-pressure effects on shock emission and liquid-shell expansion following optical breakdown inside water droplets

M. Brugge, S. van Belois, S. S. Ade +2

We experimentally investigate the deformation and breakup of micrometer-sized water droplets following nanosecond laser-induced breakdown in the finite-beam regime D0/Db~2 and over…

Evaporation of a freely floating droplet in an airstream: effects of temperature, humidity, and shape oscillations

Shubham Chakraborty, Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Aman John Tudu +2

We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the evaporation dynamics of freely levitated water droplets in an upward airstream under varying temperatur…

Droplet breakup morphologies and the resultant size distribution in an opposed-flow airstream at different Weber numbers

Shubham Chakraborty, Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala +1

The present study investigates the morphology and breakup dynamics of a freely falling drop in a vertical airstream using shadowgraphy and in-line holography. The in-line holograph…

Drop size distribution from laboratory experiments based on single-drop fragmentation and comparison with aerial in-situ measurements

Shubham Chakraborty, Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Lalsingh Devsoth +4

Laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling are conducted to determine the raindrop size distribution (DSD) resulting from distinct fragmentation processes under various upwar…

Droplet breakup and size distribution in an airstream -- effect of inertia

Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Pavan Kumar Kirar, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala +1

We experimentally investigate the morphology and breakup of a droplet as it descends freely from a height and encounters an airstream. The size distributions of the child droplets…

Application of deep learning and inline holography to estimate the droplet size distribution

Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Deepa Gupta, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala +1

We examine five machine learning-based architectures to estimate the droplet size distributions obtained using digital inline holography. The architectures, namely, U-Net, R2 U-Net…

Size distribution of a drop undergoing breakup at moderate Weber numbers

Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala, Kirti Chandra Sahu

The size distribution of child droplets resulting from a dual-bag fragmentation of a water drop is investigated using shadowgraphy and digital in-line holography techniques. It is…

Droplet size distribution in a swirl airstream using in-line holography technique

Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Pavan Kumar Kirar, Lakshmana Dora Chandrala +1

We investigate the morphology and size distribution of satellite droplets resulting from the interaction of a freely falling water droplet with a swirling airstream of different st…
