Vortex-dipole collapse induced by droplet inertia and phase change

S Ravichandran, R Govindarajan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
Droplet-laden flows with phase change are common. This study brings to light a mechanism
by which droplet inertial dynamics and local phase change, taking place at sub-Kolmogorov …

Fluid Dynamics in Clouds

S Ravichandran, JR Picardo, SS Ray… - Bulbul Chakraborty, 2022 - Springer
This entry is aimed at describing cloud physics with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. As is
inevitable for a review of an enormously complicated problem, it is highly selective and …

Evolution of a line vortex in stratified flow

S Shaw, JP McHugh - Physical Review Fluids, 2019 - APS
A distributed vortex in a stratified fluid is treated using numerical simulations in two
dimensions. The distributed vortex allows the density field and velocity field to evolve …

Motion of buoyant point vortices

JR Carpenter, A Guha - Physical Review Fluids, 2020 - APS
A general formulation is presented for studying the motion of buoyant vortices in a
homogeneous ambient fluid. It extends the well-known Hamiltonian framework for …

The Centroid-Deformation Decomposition for Buoyant Vortex Patch Motion

BN Shashikanth, R Kidambi - Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 2021 - Springer
The motion of a two-dimensional buoyant vortex patch, ie, a vortex patch with a uniform
density different from the uniform density of the surrounding fluid, is analyzed in terms of …
