Nurbs-Based Mesh-Free and Finite Element Methods in Computational Mechanics
A family of new mesh-free and mesh-based methods is developed and explored in the context of linear and nonlinear boundary and initial value problems of typical interest in engineering mechanics. A common feature in these ... -
Phase transitions of fluids confined in nanopores
Confined nanoscale fluids occur in many technologically important phenomenon such as boundary lubrication, adsorption, adhesion and catalysis. Fluids confined at these length scales are spatially inhomogeneous and fluid ... -
Linear stability analysis of fluid flow adjacent to a flexible surface
Fluid flow adjacent to a flexible surface is often encountered in biological systems and bio-technological processes. These flows have been analyzed using models similar to those for the flow past a rigid surface, but the ... -
Studies of instabilities in particulate suspensions
The focus of this project is to study the dynamics of particulate suspensions. This study is divided into two parts. Part one focuses on the dynamics of self-propelled particles, such as microorganisms. The dynamics of ... -
Frictional-kinetic models for steady cohesionless granular flow through a wedge-shaped hopper
The present work attempts to combine a newly developed kinetic constitutive theory with an older frictional theory to model.the two-dimensional gravity flow of a cohesionless granular material such as sand through a ... -
Kinematics and Rheology of Complex Fluids: Active Suspensions and Dry Granular Materials
This work focuses on two problems in complex fluids, namely collective dynamics of suspensions of self-propelled particles and the rheology of dry granular materials. In both systems, interaction between the particles is ... -
Studies in the computation of thermodynamics
Thermodynamic properties of substances like entropy and enthalpy are important in the study and design of the processes involving liquefaction, solidification, refrigeration, heat transfer, gas separation, and in chemical ... -
Studies on hydrodynamics and liquid-solid contacting in trickle-bed reactors
In trickle-bed reactors, gas and liquid flow concurrently downwards over fixed beds of catalysts. The reactors find wide application for three-phase contacting in chemical, petrochemical, petroleum and fermentation industries, ... -
Studies in the computation of thermodynamic properties; v.2
Thermodynamic properties of substances like entropy and enthalpy are important in the study and design of the processes involving liquefaction, solidification, refrigeration, heat transfer, gas separation, and in chemical ... -
Studies in heat transfer during condensation of vapours
Till until now surface tension is not taken into consideration. So, the preset work is take up to (1) Collect data on film wise condensation of vapours of organic liquids and aspotropic mixtures. (2) To check the existing ... -
Studies in condensation of vapours
for the same identical conditions, dropwise condensation gives higher heat transfer coefficients compared to filmwise type of condensation. This shows that if dropwise condensation is assured, the condensation surface can ... -
Modelling Drop Size Distribution Evolution in Dispersion Devices through Multiple Breakup Modes
Emulsions are dispersions of one immiscible liquid within another as tiny droplets. Emulsions are crucial across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, and cosmetics. The emulsification process is ... -
Mathematical and data-driven modelling of viral infections: Applications to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19
Remarkable advances are being made in developing interventions for eliciting longterm remission of HIV-1 infection. The success of these interventions will obviate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the current ... -
Understanding the Effect of Molecular Oxygen and Gold Substrate in the Chemistry of 2D MoS2 Growth During Chemical Vapor Deposition
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), are emerging candidates for varied applications, including neuromorphic computing, catalysis, gas separations, and optoelectronic ... -
Evaluating Nanoporous Graphene for Enhanced Evaporation-Based Separations using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Amidst the plethora of separation processes used in chemical industries, water purification and bioethanol production are important, given their critical role in mitigating water scarcity and developing sustainable energy ... -
Computational Approaches to Engineering Antibody Responses to HIV
Efforts are underway to devise interventions that would control HIV infection without the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy. A key strategy involves the elicitation of endogenous antibodies that can neutralise diverse ... -
Modeling and Experimental Studies on Nucleation & Growth of Crystals Using Super-Cooled Liquids
Crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a critical processing step in the pharmaceutical industry. It traditionally involves supercooling mother liquor in jacketed vessels to induce crystallization ... -
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 ... -
Paper-Based Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools: Electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Extraction and Saliva-Based Glucose Detection for Diabetes Monitoring
Currently, we face a global challenge posed by the dual burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately overburdened by ... -
Advancements in Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Assay
In recent decades, the demand for rapid and precise nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) has grown significantly, driven by the need to address pandemics like COVID-19 and diagnose infectious diseases such as ...
