Numerical Simulation for Entrainment of Forced Turbulent Fountains
Published 2019Numerical simulations are used to investigate the entrainment for forced turbulent fountains over a range of Reynolds numbers, 2000 ≤ Re ≤ 3500, and Froude numbers, 5 ≤ Fr ≤ 24, where Re and Fr are based on the fountain ...Open AccessConference paper -
Effect of Inflow Conditioning for Dry Powder Inhalers
Published 2021The transport of pharmaceutical dry powder inside an optically accessible inhaler-like device is studied using both macro- and microscopic high-speed imaging. The investigation aims to systematically study the effect of ...Open AccessArticle -
Local dynamics of pharmaceutical powder fluidization using high speed long distance microscopy and particle image velocimetry
Published 2021The local dynamics of fluidized pharmaceutical carrier powders in a turbulent channel flow was studied using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and High-speed, long-distance microscopy (HS-LDM). Four different lactose powders ...Open AccessArticle -
Extending the range of back-lit imaging in two-phase flows using an interrogation window based method
Published 2021This paper introduces a novel image processing methodology to enable an extension of the range of applicability of the back-lit imaging method to provide the simultaneous measurement of size and velocity in turbulent flows ...Open AccessArticle -
Fragmentation dynamics of single agglomerate-to-wall impaction
Published 2020The de-agglomeration characteristics of single agglomerate-wall impaction are examined using high-resolution shadowgraph imaging. Experiments are performed to investigate the effects of constituent particle size (D50 from ...Open AccessArticle
