Fluid mechanics of liquid drops and thin-films
… phenomenon exhibited by liquid drops and liquid thin-films. Studying these systems is important both from fundamental and applied science perspectives. The first topic of the dissertation is on using pendant droplet tensiometry to measure surface tension of biological fluid secreted by N. …

Enhanced droplet spreading due to thermal fluctuations
The dynamics of thin film liquid interfaces (< 100 nm) play dominant roles in many macroscale phenomena, such as droplet break up, evaporation of a meniscus, boiling and heat transfer, and thin film dynamics. These processes are can be used in the manufacturing of microelectronics and biomedical …

On a Cartesian cut-cell methodology for simulating atmospheric ice accretion on aircraft
… not suitable. Therefore, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods have proved an attractive alternative to study atmospheric icing effects. However, most approaches are based on simple incompressible models and are only suited for small ice heights due to the difficulty of dynamically …
