Rheology of dense non-Brownian suspensions
Suspensions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, ranging from magma, blood, and mud to cement, paint, and molten chocolate. Despite the Newtonian nature of the suspending fluid and the expectation of linearity in the ...
Vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent round jets with and without heating
The round turbulent jets are ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems such as clouds,
engine exhausts, chimney plumes, and respiratory flows. We aimed to understand the vorticity and
scalar transport in turbulent ...
Synthesis of Monodispersed Pdms Microspheres of Tunable Modulus Using Droplet Microfluidics and Study of the Rheology of Dense Suspensions of Rigid and Soft Particles in Shear Flow
We report the synthesis of monodispersed PDMS microspheres of tuneable modulus using a droplet-based microfluidics approach. Nevertheless, polymer microspheres can be used as a model representative particle to mimic the ...
Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ...
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of
care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the
test/device should be accessible, ...
Extratropical Influence on the Sub-seasonal Rainfall Deficit in Indian Summer Monsoon
The variability of Indian monsoon on a range of timescales - seasonal to interannual to decadal - has been studied and characterised extensively over the past several decades. On the mechanistic front, the role ...
Design and Performance Analyses of Osculating Cone Waveriders
Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for
space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations.
The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ...
Analysis of Fetal Heart Sound for Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
Perinatal mortality is the number of stillbirths and deaths during the first seven days of life per 1000 live births. Most (98%) of this death occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and is known as the 'silent' ...
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ...
Micromechanics of Wedge and Cone Indentation of Metallic Specimens with Subsurface Voids
Near-surface voids and pores occur in metal parts manufactured by processes as diverse as casting, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing. These pores range in size from a few microns to a few mm, depending on the ...
