Topological chaos and chaotic mixing of viscous flows
… fluid or a microfluidic system, efficient mixing becomes a challenge. However, it is possible in a laminar flow to generate chaotic particle trajectories (well-known as chaotic advection), that can lead to effective mixing. This dissertation studies mixing in flows with the limiting case of …

Membranous sterol dynamics and interactions with amphotericin B
… dipolar couplings and employ a through-bond scalar mixing, MD simulations of Chol in lipid bilayers and QM calculations, we additionally aim to understand the key interactions that determine the sterol-specificity to Amphotericin B (AmB), a powerful antifungal drug used to treat life …

Scalar dissipation rate based flamelet modelling of turbulent premixed flames
… configuration. The flamelets are parametrised by scalar dissipation rate of progress variable which is a suitable quantity to describe the flamelet structure since it is governed by convection--diffusion--reaction balance and represents the flame front dynamics. This paramaterisation is new. The …

Influences of the Darrieus-Landau instability on premixed turbulent flames
… tensor on vortex stretching and transport of scalar gradients, while changes in flame topology due to the Darrieus-Landau instability are shown to significantly impact vorticity generation through the baroclinic torque using enstrophy budgets. The turbulent flame speed, defined as the mean …
