The rate of melting of a solid and the rate of deformation of the resulting melt due to capillary forces are comparable in additive manufacturing applications. This dynamic structural change of a melting solid is extremely challenging to…
There is an ongoing debate concerning the best rheological model for liquid flows in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Due to the small contact area and high relative velocities of bounding solids, the lubricant experiences pressures in…
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) poses a significant challenge to the durability of materials used in hydrogen production and utilization. Disentangling the competing nanoscale mechanisms driving HE often relies on simulations and…
The present work reports an investigation into the statistical properties of wall-pressure fluctuations in a highly over-expanded nozzle flow, characterized by significant shock-induced flow separation. This regime is extremely hazardous to…
Recent experimental observations at JET show evidence of reduced ion temperature profile stiffness, hypothesised to be due to concomitant low magnetic shear (s) and significant toroidal rotational flow shear. Non-linear gyrokinetic…
We use direct numerical simulations to investigate the interaction between the temperature field of a fluid and the temperature of small particles suspended in the flow, employing both one and two-way thermal coupling, in a statistically…
We numerically investigate bouncing and non-bouncing of droplets during isothermal impact on superhydrophobic surfaces. An in-house, experimentally-validated, finite-element method based computational model is employed to simulate the…
We study experimentally temperature fluctuations in stably stratified forced turbulence in air flow. In the experiments with an imposed vertical temperature gradient, the turbulence is produced by two oscillating grids located nearby the…
Ideal, completely coherent quantum transport calculations had predicted that superlattice MOSFETs may offer steep subthreshold swing performance below 60mV/dec to around 39mV/dec. However, the high carrier density in the superlattice source…
Plasma flow and acceleration in a magnetic mirror configuration are studied using a drift-kinetic particles-in-cell model in the paraxial approximation, with an emphasis on finite temperature effects and energy transport. Energy conversion…
Electrospray thrusters are one important type of micropropulsion systems being developed for next-generation space missions, yet the primary challenge to their operational lifespan is propellant overspray resulting from wide plume angles…
Studying thermal transport at the nanoscale poses formidable experimental challenges due both to the physics of the measurement process and to the issues of accuracy and reproducibility. The laser-induced transient thermal grating (TTG)…
Droplet interactions with solid surfaces are fundamental to natural phenomena and hold significant commercial relevance across diverse applications. While the impingement dynamics of conventional aqueous droplets on solid substrates are…
We investigate the instability and nonlinear saturation of temperature-stratified Taylor-Couette flows in a finite height cylindrical gap and calculate angular-momentum transport in the nonlinear regime. The model is based on an…
This extensive investigation explores the influence of inclined magnetic fields and radiative non-linear heat flux on the behavior of dusty hybrid nanofluids over stretching/shrinking wedges. Employing $Cu$-$SiO_2$ as a hybrid nanoparticle…
X-ray observations of many clusters of galaxies reveal the presence of edges in surface brightness and temperature, known as "cold fronts". In relaxed clusters with cool cores, these edges have been interpreted as evidence for the…
We consider the dynamics of micro-sized, asymmetrically-coated thermoresponsive hydrogel ribbons (microgels) under periodic heating and cooling in the confined space between two planar surfaces. As the result of the temperature changes, the…
Measurements of the surface diffusivity of colloidal spheres translating along a vapor/liquid inter- face show an unexpected decrease in diffusivity, or increase in surface drag (from the Stokes-Einstein relation) when the particles situate…
Understanding and modulating the cross-stream motion of a surfactant-coated droplet in pressure driven flow has great implications in many practical applications. A combination of interfacial viscosity and Marangoni stress acting over a…
We report direct observation of the evolution of local temperature inhomogeneity and the resulting atomic migration in a metal film (Ag on Si) stressed by a current by using a Scanning Thermal Microscope that allows simultaneous temperature…
