Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Particle Dynamics in Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluids in a Taylor-Couette Cell
… operational conditions, this study utilizes a Taylor-Couette (TC) cell, which consists of a rotating inner cylinder and a stationary outer cylinder separated by a 9.0 mm annular gap. The TC cell allows for the investigation of the sedimentation behavior of spherical particles within both …

Geometry mediated drag reduction using riblets and wrinkled surface textures
… aligned riblet structures on fully-developed Taylor-Couette flow. We perform both experimental studies as well as time-dependent numerical simulations in both the laminar Couette and the Taylor vortex regime. We again explore the effect of the size of the riblets with respect to the geometry …

Droplet levitation and underwater plastron restoration using aerophilic surface textures
… experiments under turbulent flow conditions in a Taylor-Couette cell which show that more than half of the drag increase ensuing from plastron collapse can be recovered spontaneously using this method. In the second part of this thesis, we demonstrate room-temperature Leidenfrost effect by using …
