Self-similar Features in Secondary Breakup of a Droplet and Ligament Mediated Fragmentation under Extreme Conditions
Saini Jatin Rao, Saptarshi Basu
Droplet formation is relevant in many applications spanning natural and artificial settings. A physical understanding of aerobreakup or air-assisted secondary atomization and predi…
Blast wave induced unsteady flow at the shock tube opening
Saini Jatin Rao, Akhil Aravind, Saptarshi Basu
Shock tubes have been a crucial device, facilitating studies across a wide range of practical applications. An open-ended shock tube employing the wire-explosion technique with a r…
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…
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 =…
Insights into Spatio-temporal dynamics during shock -- droplet flame interaction
Gautham Vadlamudi, Akhil Aravind, Saini Jatin Rao +1
The study comprehensively investigates the response of a combusting droplet during its interaction with a high-speed transient flow that is imposed by a coaxially propagating blast…
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…
