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…
Bursting Drops
Varun Kulkarni, Venkata Yashasvi Lolla, Suhas Tamvada +1
For decades, researchers worldwide have investigated phenomena related to natural, artificial oil leakages such as oil drop formation within water bodies, their rise, and oil slick…
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…
Boiling transitions during droplet contact on superheated nano/micro-structured surfaces
Navid Saneie, Varun Kulkarni, Kamel Fezzaa +2
Manipulating surface topography is one of the most promising strategies for increasing the efficiency of numerous industrial processes involving droplet contact with superheated su…
Instabilities by ionic bombardment
Seyed Reza Mahmoudi, Sushant Anand, Kazimierz Adamiak +2
This fluid dynamics video is an entry for the Gallery of Fluid Motion of the 66th Annual Meeting of the APS-DFD. This work reveals new types of interfacial instabilities that occur…
Hovering UFO Droplets
Sushant Anand, Adam Paxson, Rajeev Dhiman +2
This fluid dynamics video is an entry for the Gallery of Fluid Motion of the 65th Annual Meeting of the APS-DFD. This video shows behavior of condensing droplets on a lubricant imp…
