Effects of Porous Media Properties and Flow Environment on Drug Release from Porous Implants

Pawan Kumar Pandey, KVS Chaithanya, Prateek K. Jha

Drug-Filled Porous Implants (DFPIs) are an innovative solution for delivering drugs in a controlled and sustained manner to target sites. To optimize their performance across vario…

Nonlocal flow sampling enables vortex trapping of heavy particles

Sachin Kulkarni, Sumithra R. Yerasi, Vishwanath Kadaba Puttanna +3

Most analyses of inertial particle motion in vortical flows rely on the point-particle approximation, in which the fluid velocity is assumed to be linear at the scale of the partic…

Viscoelastic Effects on the Hydrodynamics of an Active Compound Particle

KVS Chaithanya, Sumesh P. Thampi

Understanding the hydrodynamics of microswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and confined environments is crucial for interpreting their behaviour in natural settings and designing synt…

Cell-level modelling of homeostasis in confined epithelial monolayers

KVS Chaithanya, Jan Rozman, Andrej Košmrlj +1

Tissue homeostasis, the biological process of maintaining a steady state in tissue via control of cell proliferation, death, and metabolic function, is essential for the developmen…

Vertex model with internal dissipation enables sustained flows

Jan Rozman, Chaithanya K. V. S., Julia M. Yeomans +1

Complex tissue flows in epithelia are driven by intra- and inter-cellular processes that generate, maintain, and coordinate mechanical forces. There has been growing evidence that…

Transport of topological defects in a biphasic mixture of active and passive nematic fluids

KVS Chaithanya, Aleksandra Ardaševa, Oliver J. Meacock +3

Collectively moving cellular systems often contain a proportion of dead cells or non-motile genotypes. When mixed, nematically aligning motile and non-motile agents are known to se…
