Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

The injection and atomization process of a liquid fuel jet is critical for an ignition start of a
scramjet engine. Airwall-mounted crossflow injection strategy is widely used in scramjet …

The multiscale dynamics of a shock–droplet interaction is crucial in understanding the
atomisation of droplets due to external airflow. The interaction phenomena are classified into …

We present volume of fluid based numerical simulations of secondary breakup of a drop with
high density ratio (approx. 1000) and also perform experiments by injecting monodisperse …

The breakup of droplets in a high-speed air stream is investigated experimentally and
theoretically. This study is based on experiments conducted by exposing pendant droplets to …

We present a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the aerobreakup of a spherical
water droplet in the flow behind a normal shock wave. The droplet and surrounding gas flow …

Differences in the extent of protonation of functional groups lying on either side of water–
hydrophobe interfaces are deemed essential to enzymatic catalysis, molecular recognition …

A complex system of waves propagating inside a water column due to the impact of plane
shock wave is investigated both experimentally and numerically. Flow features, such as …

The present experimental study investigates the shear stripping breakup of single droplets in
subsonic and supersonic gaseous flows. In contrast to most research that places emphasis …

Experiments reported in the literature are reproduced using numerical simulations to
investigate the early stages of the breakup of water cylinders in the flow behind normal …
