The transmission dynamics of highly contagious respiratory diseases like COVID-19 (through coughing/sneezing) is an open problem in the epidemiological studies of such …
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of spherical droplets in the presence of a source– sink pair flow field. The dynamics of the droplets is governed by the Maxey–Riley equation …
The Maxey–Riley equation has been extensively used by the fluid dynamics community to study the dynamics of small inertial particles in fluid flow. However, most often, the Basset …
We investigate the effect of inertial particles on the stability and decay of a prototypical vortex tube, represented by a two-dimensional Lamb–Oseen vortex. In the absence of particles, the …
Particle-laden flows of sedimenting solid particles or droplets in a carrier gas have strong inter-phase coupling. Even at low particle volume fractions, the two-way coupling can be …
In this work we investigate the dynamics of inertial particles using finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE). In particular, we characterize the attractor and repeller structures …
We investigate the effect of inertial particles dispersed in a circular patch of finite radius on the stability of a two-dimensional Rankine vortex in semi-dilute dusty flows. Unlike the …

In gas-solid fluidized beds, spatiotemporal mutiscale structures caused by the intrinsic instability of gas-solid flows have a large impact on the interphase interaction. Predicting …
The role of the spatial structure of a turbulent flow in enhancing particle collision rates in suspensions is an open question. We show and quantify, as a function of particle inertia, the …
