According to our knowledge, rare earth based upconverting ternary vanadates are
synthesized by the hydrothermal method for the first time. This facile procedure offers an …

The strong shear induced by the injection of liquid sprays at high velocities induces
turbulence in the surrounding medium. This, in turn, influences the motion of droplets as well …

The presence of bubbles and voids inside nozzles has a large effect on the morphology and
atomization of sprays. In this investigation the voids formed by microbubbles entering the …

The breakup of liquid sprays has been an intriguing and challenging subject for over a
century. After Lord Rayleigh's initial investigation into the capillary breakup of jets in 1879 …

Laser-induced phosphorescence has been used extensively to study spray dynamics. It is
important to understand the influence of droplet evaporation in the interpretation of such …

A line of sight imaging technique was developed which utilized pulse slicing of laser pulses
to shorten the duration of the parent laser pulse, thereby making time gating more effective …
