Modulating outcomes of oil drops bursting at a water-air interface

Varun Kulkarni, Suhas Tamvada, Yashasvi Venkata Lolla +1

Recent studies have shown that capillary waves generated by bursting of an oil drop at the water-air interface produces a daughter droplet inside the bath while part of it floats a…

Increased solidification delays fragmentation and suppresses rebound of impacting drops

Varun Kulkarni, Suhas Tamvada, Nikhil Shirdade +4

The splat formed after drop impact on supercooled solid surfaces sticks to it. On the contrary, a sublimating supercooled surface such as dry ice inhibits pinning and therefore eff…

Coalescence and spreading of drops on liquid pools

Varun Kulkarni, Venkata Yashasvi Lolla, Suhas Rao Tamvada +2

Oil spills have posed a serious threat to our marine and ecological environment in recent times. Containment of spills proliferating via small drops merging with oceans/seas is esp…
