Hypothesis: Understanding contact angle hysteresis on rough surfaces is important as most industrially relevant and naturally occurring surfaces possess some form of random or structured roughness. We hypothesise that hysteresis originates…
In this paper we find an analytical solution of the equilibrium ion distribution for a toroidal model of a ionic channel, using the Perfect Screening Theorem (PST). The ions are charged hard spheres, and are treated using a variational Mean…

We study the stability of two-fluid flow through a plane channel at Reynolds numbers of a hundred to a thousand in the linear and nonlinear regimes. The two fluids have the same density but different viscosities. The fluids, when miscible,…
Variation of voltage profiles with different time scales leads to the redistribution of deposited energy as well as electro-hydrodynamic forces, while the mechanism and scaling law is still unknown. On the basis of theoretical and numerical…
