An experimental research concerning highly underexpanded jets made of different gases from the surrounding ambient is here described. By selecting different species of gases, it was possible to vary the jet-to-ambient density ratio in the…
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) and modal analysis techniques are applied to investigate the flow over a NACA-0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of 50,000. Three different sweep angles are considered, namely 0, 20 and 40 degrees, for two…

The fact that physical conservation laws can be derived from symmetry properties of space and time, as shown by Emily N\"other, has been utilized in predicting the development of the round turbulent jet from the jet exit to the far field.…
It was previously observed that colliding liquid droplets in a gaseous medium tend to bounce off at elevated gas pressure up to about 12 atm. In this letter, we extended the droplet collision experiment to up to 41 atm for the first time…
Positive streamers in ambient air at pressures from 0.013 to 1 bar are investigated experimentally. The voltage applied to the anode needle ranges from 5 to 45 kV, the discharge gap from 1 to 16 cm. Using a "slow" voltage rise time of 100…

The classical wetting models, such as the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter have been extensively used to quantify the wettability of laser-textured surfaces. However, these models do not provide any description of the corresponding droplet…
If a droplet is placed on a substrate with a conical shape it spontaneously starts to spread in the direction of a growing fibre radius. We describe this capillary spreading dynamics by developing a lubrication approximation on a cone and…
Detailed investigation of static and dynamic laser light scattering has been attempted in this work both theoretically and experimentally based on dilute water dispersions of two different homogenous spherical particles, polystyrene latexes…

We introduce a L\'evy-Lorentz gas in which a light particle is scattered by static point scatterers arranged on a line. We investigate the case where the intervals between scatterers $\{\xi_i \}$ are independent random variables identically…
We prove the invariance of the contact angle in liquid-solid wetting phenomena : an electrified droplet is spreading on a solid surface. The drop is minimizing its energy. We express the differential of this energy with respect to the shape…
Accurate prediction of a dense spray using an Euler-Lagrange approach is challenging because of high volume fraction of the dispersed phase due to subgrid cluster of droplets. To accurately model dense sprays, one needs to capture this…
We study the angular dependence of the flux from partially synchrotron self-absorbed conical jets (proposed by Blandford \& K{\"o}nigl). We consider the jet viewed from either a side or close to on axis, and in the latter case, either from…
