Study of droplet dynamics in transcritical environments

Efficient combustion processes are indispensable in limiting the temperature increase to 1.5 deg C as set by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) before 2030 to curtail the effects of global warming. As for the emissions, the main task lies in controlling the air-fuel ratio in the lean regime as to control the emissions of NOx since...

Unravelling Turbulent Emulsions with lattice-Boltzmann simulations

The mixing of two immiscible fluids, often under turbulent conditions, can lead to the formation of an emulsion, where droplets of one fluid are embedded in another fluid. The occurrence of emulsions is commonplace across industries, ranging from the oil industry to food processing and biotechnology. Why emulsions serve diverse applications, in...
