Convective Preheating Enhances Front Propagation in DCPD Frontal Polymerization
M Vijay Kumar, Saujatya Mandal, Siddhant Jain +2
Frontal polymerization (FP) enables rapid curing of thermosets via a self-sustaining thermal wave, but its propagation mechanism can shift dramatically depending on processing cond…
Vortex Dynamics During Pinch-off of Micro-Droplets
Siddhant Jain, Saini Jatin Rao, Shubhadeep Mandal +2
Micro-droplets are extensively used in chemical, biological, and medical research, primarily for conducting various tests on samples, including living organisms, using a microfluid…
Dynamics of Soap Bubble Inflation
Saini Jatin Rao, Siddhant Jain, Saptarshi Basu
Bubbles have always captivated our curiosity with their aesthetics and complexities alike. While the act of blowing bubbles is familiar to everyone, the underlying physics of these…
Insights into the mechanics of pure and bacteria-laden sessile whole blood droplet evaporation
Durbar Roy, Sophia M, Kush K Dewangan +5
We study the mechanics of evaporation and precipitate formation in pure and bacteria-laden sessile whole blood droplets in the context of disease diagnostics. Using experimental an…
Interaction of vortex ring with perforated plate at different included angles
Siddhant Jain, Saini Jatin Rao, Saptarshi Basu
Experiments are performed to investigate the interaction of a vortex ring (Reynolds number based on circulation (Re_Gamma = 10500) with perforated surface (open area ratio, phi_1 =…
