Two Dimensional Shear Layer:
Effect of Heat Release on Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability: (bottom row) KHI without heat release; (middle row) KHI with a cold initial condition and subsequent heat release; (top row) KHI with hot initial condition and subsequent heat release.

 

Large Eddy Simulation of Shear Layers at Low Mach and Reynolds Numbers:
Evolution of isosurface of stoichiometric mixture fraction. Burke-Schumann model has been used for heat release while dynamic Smagorinsky method is used to model SGS.

 

Droplet Levitation:
Three-phase simulation of the evolution of a droplet suspended in the boundary of a two phase background fluid. The force causing the levitation increases from right to left.

 

Liquid Lens:
A droplet suspended in the boundary of a two phase background fluid stretches due to surface tension force. (Left column) Three different resolutions are tested. (Right column) Droplet shape for highest resolution. (Top to bottom) Further stretching due to chosen surface tension coefficients.
