Studies In Stability Of Newtonian And Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past Rigid And Flexible Surfaces
(2010-09-23)
The surface oscillations in a deformable wall are known to induce an instability in the adjacent flow even in the absence of inertia. This instability, if understood properly, can be exploited to generate a well-mixed flow ...
Particle Dynamics In A Turbulent Particle-Gas Suspension At High Stokes Number
(2010-12-08)
Particle laden turbulent flows find applications in many industrial processes such as energy conversion, air pollution control etc. In these types of flows, there are strong coupling between the turbulent fluctuations in ...
