Virus transmission by aerosol transport during short conversations
Rohit Singhal, S. Ravichandran, Rama Govindarajan +1
Pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 are transmitted not only through violent expiratory events like coughing, but also through routine activities like breathing/speaking/singing. We perf…
Fluid dynamics in clouds: The sum of its parts
S. Ravichandran, Jason R. Picardo, Samriddhi Sankar Ray +1
This entry is aimed at describing cloud physics with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. As is inevitable for a review of an enormously complicated problem, it is highly selective and r…
Melting driven by rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
S. Ravichandran, J. S. Wettlaufer
We study numerically the melting of a horizontal layer of a pure solid above a convecting layer of its fluid rotating about the vertical axis. In the rotating regime studied here,…
Transient Convective Spin-up Dynamics
S. Ravichandran, J. S. Wettlaufer
We study the formation, longevity and breakdown of convective rings during impulsive spin-up in square and cylindrical containers using direct numerical simulations. The rings, whi…
