Phase separating systems that are maintained away from thermodynamic equilibrium via
molecular processes represent a class of active systems, which we call active emulsions …

We are thankful to our doctoral and master's students who worked with us in the areas of
interfacial transport phenomena and phase-change. We have worked closely with Dr …

Contact angle hysteresis is an important phenomenon that occurs both in natural and
industrial droplet spreading/sliding applications. As they slide, droplets adopt a different …

In this study, we employ direct numerical simulation (DNS) to investigate the solutal
hydrodynamics dictating the three-dimensional coalescence of microscopic, identical-sized …

The mechanisms governing the electrocoalescence between droplets are intricate owing to
the presence of many influential parameters. In this work, we conduct molecular dynamics …

Coalescence of sessile polymeric fluid drops on a partially wettable substrate exhibits a
transition from the inertial to viscoelastic regime at concentration ratio c/c*∼ 1⁠. Our findings …

We study the fluid convection inside two adjacent evaporating droplets of binary mixture.
Micro-PIV technique has been used to measure the velocity field inside the droplet. The …

This book is an expanded form of our previous monograph, Khandekar S. and Muralidhar K.,
Dropwise Condensation on Inclined Textured Surfaces, Springer, 2013. Here, we had …

Unexpectedly, under certain conditions, sessile drops from different but completely miscible
liquids do not always coalesce instantaneously upon contact: the drop bodies remain …

Due to capillarity, sessile droplets of identical liquids will instantaneously fuse when they
come in contact at their three-phase lines. However, with drops of different, completely …
