Dynamics in complex systems: liquid crystals, biological water, supercooled water and enzymes
The origin of the glassy orientational dynamics, both single particle and collective, of nematogens near the isotropic-nematic transition has been addressed in several publications in recent years [5-7, 12]. In these ... -
Dynamics of a Stratified Population of Optimum Seeking Agents on a Network
Very large scale multi-agent systems occur both naturally and in engineering applications. In many of these systems, the agents are either selfish or act with varying levels of coordination. Understanding the evolution of ... -
Dynamics of a Suspended Microchannel Resonator
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) mass sensing devices have a wide variety of applications in healthcare diagnostics and biosciences. Typically, mass sensing on a MEMS device works by physisorption and chemisorption ... -
Dynamics Of Activated Processes Involving Chain Molecules
(2009-09-11)This thesis presents our recent study of few interesting problems involving activated processes. This chapter gives an overview of the thesis. It is now possible to do single molecule experiments involving enzyme molecules. ... -
Dynamics of Actuated and Interacting Swirl Premixed Flames in Model Gas Turbine Combustors
Lean premixed combustion is preferred in gas turbines because of the reduced (NOx) emissions. However, the combustors operating in lean premixed regime could suffer from problems like flame flashback, flame blowoff and ... -
Dynamics of bond-formation in some diatomics
An understanding of molecular formation from the separated atoms is one of the important goals in quantum chemistry. Earlier interpretations of the bond formation are based on the spatial characteristics of the charge ... -
Dynamics of Bubbles and Drops in the Presence of an Electric Field
(2018-07-16)The present thesis deals with two-phase electrohydrodynamic simulations of bubble and droplet dynamics under externally applied electric fields. We used the Coupled Level-Set and Volume-of-fluid method (CLSVOF) and two ... -
Dynamics Of Cricket Song Towards Nature-inspired MEMS Speakers
(2016-09-15)The clever designs of natural transducers are a great source of inspiration for man-made systems. At small length scales, there are many transducers in nature that we are now beginning to understand and learn from. Here, ... -
Dynamics of Droplets Under Support, Acoustic And/Or Ambient Flow Excitation
(2018-04-24)The first step on the way to understanding the complicated dynamics of spray is to study the behavior of isolated droplets. In many industrial and natural processes such as turbulent combustion, agricultural sprays, spray ... -
Dynamics Of Early Stages Of Transition In A Laminar Separation Bubble
(2010-04-12)This is an experimental and theoretical study of a laminar separation bubble and the associated transition dynamics in its early stages. The separation of a laminar boundary layer from a solid surface is prevalent in very ... -
The Dynamics Of Erosion Of Gradient-Zone In Solar Ponds

Dynamics of gas bubbles in liquids
The study of bubble formation in liquids is of great importance because of its application in the design of many industrial bubble contactors like distillation columns, bubble cap columns, absorption towers, reactors, extraction ... -
Dynamics of glass forming liquids with emphasis on vibrational modes
The potential energy landscape (PEL) description is regarded as one of the fundamental landmarks in the theory of glass transition, which has found wide applications not only in the understanding of disordered materials ... -
Dynamics of Glass-Forming Liquids and Shear-Induced Grain Growth in Dense Colloidal Suspensions
(2018-06-19)The work presented in this doctoral thesis employs colloidal suspensions to explore key open problems in condensed matter physics. Colloidal suspensions, along with gels, polymers, emulsions and liquid crystals belong to ... -
Dynamics of Hollow Cone Spray in an Unconfined, Isothermal, Co-Annular Swirling Jet Environment
(2018-07-20)The complex multiphase flow physics of spray-swirl interaction in both reacting and non-reacting environment is of fundamental and applied significance for a wide variety of applications ranging from gas turbine combustors ... -
Dynamics of I*(2p1/2) production in the UV photodissociationof alkyl iodides
The photodissociation dynamics of alkyl iodides in their A?band of absorption (arising from n ? ?* transition) has been of interest for dynamicists for the past three decades, starting from the pioneering work of Kasper ... -
Dynamics of Invariant Object Representations in the Monkey Inferotemporal Cortex
(2018-06-18)Vision is computationally challenging because objects in the real world can change in size, position, viewpoint etc., and therefore cast a myriad images on the retina. Viewpoint changes are particularly challenging because ... -
The Dynamics of Iron in Miniferritins : A Structure-Function Connection
(2017-11-23)The DNA binding proteins under starvation (Dps) from M. smegmatis are cage-like structures which internalize iron and bind DNA. They provide resistance to the cells from free radical damage, and physically protect the DNA ... -
Dynamics of Laminar Separation Bubbles on Low Reynolds Number Airfoils
This is a detailed study on the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number airfoils. E387 airfoil that comes under the category of trailing-edge stall is used extensively in this study. The reduction in lift due to low Reynolds ... -
Dynamics of Leidenfrost droplets on microtextured substrates
A liquid droplet placed on a heated substrate at temperatures significantly higher than the saturation temperature of the liquid levitates over a thin film of vapor and is termed as a Leidenfrost (LF) droplet. Leidenfrost ...
