Upstream flow geometries can be uniquely learnt from single-point turbulence signatures
Mukesh Karunanethy, Raghunathan Rengaswamy, Mahesh V Panchagnula
We test the hypothesis that the microscopic temporal structure of near-field turbulence downstream of a sudden contraction contains geometry-identifiable information pertaining to…
User authentication system based on human exhaled breath physics
Mukesh Karunanethy, Rahul Tripathi, Mahesh V Panchagnula +1
This work, in a pioneering approach, attempts to build a biometric system that works purely based on the fluid mechanics governing exhaled breath. We test the hypothesis that the s…
Pulmonary drug delivery and retention: a computational study to identify plausible parameters based on a coupled airway-mucus flow model
Aranyak Chakravarty, Mahesh V. Panchagnula, Alladi Mohan +1
Pulmonary drug delivery systems rely on inhalation of drug-laden aerosols produced from aerosol generators such as inhalers, nebulizers etc. On deposition, the drug molecules diffu…
On the brachistochrone of a fluid-filled cylinder
Srikanth Sarma Gurram, Sharan Raja, Mahesh V. Panchagnula +1
We discuss a fluid dynamic variant of the classical Bernoulli's brachistochrone problem. The classical brachistochrone for a non-dissipative particle is governed by maximization of…
Sparse game changers restore collective motion in panicked human crowds
Ajinkya Kulkarni, Sumesh P. Thampi, Mahesh V. Panchagnula
Using a dynamic variant of the Vicsek model, we show that emergence of a crush from an orderly moving human crowd is a non-equilibrium first order phase transition. We also show th…
Dynamics and stability of a fluid filled cylinder rolling on an inclined plane
Rohit B. Supekar, Mahesh V. Panchagnula
The dynamics and stability of a fluid-filled hollow cylindrical shell rolling on an inclined plane are analyzed. We study the motion in two dimensions by analyzing the interaction…
