TITLE: Droplet impact on immiscible liquid pool: Multi-scale dynamics of entrapped air cushion at short timescales TEAM: Durbar Roy, Sophia M, Srinivas Rao, and Saptarshi Basu ABSTRACT: We have detected unique hydrodynamic topology in thin air film surrounding the central air dimple formed during drop impact on an immiscible liquid pool. The pattern resembles spinodal and finger-like structures typically found in various thin condensed matter systems. However, similar struc

TITLE: Malleable patterns from the evaporation of colloidal liquid bridge: coffee ring to the scallop shell TEAM: Ankur Chattopadhyay , Srinivas Rao S, Omkar Hegde, Saptarshi Basu ABSTRACT: The present article highlights an approach to generate contrasting patterns from drying droplets in a liquid bridge configuration, different from well-known coffee rings. Reduction of the confinement distance (the gap between the solid surfaces) leads to systematized nano-particle agglom
