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…
Effect of transient shell formation on Shock-induced atomization of an evaporating nanofluid droplet
Gautham Vadlamudi, Bal Krishan, Akarsh Choudhary +1
This study investigates the shock-induced atomisation dynamics of an acoustically levitated TM-10 nanofluid droplet subjected to a coaxially propagating blast wave and subsequent c…
Insight into the combustion dynamics of ITA-driven swirl flames
SK Thirumalaikumaran, Balasundaram Mohan, Saptarshi Basu
In this article, we examine the flame, flow, and acoustic coupling of Intrinsic ThermoAcoustic (ITA) driven combustion instability using a high-shear swirl injector in a model comb…
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…
Effect of the blast wave interaction on the flame heat release and droplet dynamics
Gautham Vadlamudi, Balasundaram Mohan, Akhil Aravind +1
The study comprehensively investigates the response of a combusting droplet during its interaction with high-speed transient flow imposed by a coaxially propagating blast wave. The…
