Experimental and Numerical Studies on Chemically Active Flame Inhibitors
Fire hazards pose an increasingly potent threat to modern societies. Early identification and mitigation of fire hazards are crucial to avoid the loss of human lives and property. Recent research suggests that finely-atomized ...
Buoyancy Driven Turbulence In A Vertical Pipe

Classical Approach to Understanding the Impact Dynamics of Hollow Droplets
Compound droplets are utilized in applications ranging from the preparation of emulsion to
biological cell printing and additive manufacturing. Here, we report on the impact dynamics of
a compound hollow droplet on a ...
Torque transport, mean velocity profiles and turbulent statistics of a wide-gap Taylor Couette flow
Wall-bounded turbulent flows that possess finite curvature of the mean flow streamlines are known to be starkly different from their
plane counterparts. One of the primary distinguishing features of such flows is the ...
Experiments On Rolling Sphere Submerged In An Incompressible Fluid
(2016-09-15)
Experiments are done using a smooth solid rigid homogeneous acrylic sphere rolling on an inclined plane which is submerged in water. The motivation for these experiments comes from a need to understand a class of solid-fluid ...
Thermal Performance of Various Roof Elements Under Different Weather Conditions
(2018-05-14)
Beside the point of whether the country is developed or underdeveloped, energy crisis is a common scene all over the world. In order to balance energy supply and demand, either one has to increase the supply or decrease ...
Studies on modeling the mechanics of slender elastic ribbons
Ribbons are slender structures characterized by three disparate geometric dimensions: length >> width >> thickness. Such a dimensional disparity enables ribbons to bend, buckle, twist and crease response to simple loading ...
Externally Induced Instabilities in Contactless Functional Droplets
Many natural and technological processes involve spray or cluster of droplets which are subjected to chaotic external environment. Study of the behavior of a single droplet is therefore crucial to understand the dynamics ...
Design, Analysis, Simulation and Experimentation of a Flexible Spine Quadruped
Quadrupeds robots can move on uneven and rough terrain where mobile robots cannot venture. Al-though bipeds have more capabilities, they are inherently unstable and difficult to control. Most quadrupeds today are built ...
