Convective scalar transport from spherical drops in complex shearing flows
Sabarish V. Narayanan, Ganesh Subramanian
We calculate the scalar transport rate, as characterized by the Nusselt number\,(), from a neutrally buoyant spherical drop in an ambient linear flow, in the absence of inertia…

Orientation dynamics of a spheroid in the simple shear flow of a weakly elastic fluid
Pavan Kumar Singeetham, Deepak Madival, Piyush Garg +1
We investigate the orientation dynamics of a neutrally buoyant spheroid, of an arbitrary aspect ratio (), freely rotating in a weakly viscoelastic fluid undergoing simple shear…

The orientation dynamics of a massive ellipsoid in simple shear flow
Giridar Vishwanathan, Sangamesh Gudda, Ganesh Subramanian
The orientation dynamics of a massive rigid ellipsoid in simple shear flow of a Newtonian fluid is investigated in detail. The term `massive' refers to dominant particle inertia, a…
