Laminar-to-Turbulent Transition of Yield-Stress Fluids in Pipe and Channel Flows
Shivam Prajapati, Prasoon Suchandra, Vivek Kumar +3
We present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of laminar to turbulent transition in Herschel-Bulkley (HB) yield-stress fluids flowing through pipes and rectangular channels. The si…

Bubble coalescence dynamics in a high-Reynolds number decaying turbulent flow
Vivek Kumar, Prasoon Suchandra, Ardalan Javadi +2
This study experimentally investigates bubble size evolution and void fraction redistribution in an unexplored, coalescence-dominated regime of decaying turbulent bubbly flow. The…
