MSc Project
Phase-slip in pentanol drops in parallel connected channels
Non-linear Dynamics of Active Matter
Guided by Prof. Manish Dev Shrimali (Central University of Rajasthan) and Prof. Punit Parmananda (IIT Bombay)
- Investigation of Phase-slip in pentanol drops oscillation in parallelly connected channels.
- Identified the emergence of phase shift behavior in controlled interactions, resulting in stable anti-phase oscillation.
- Demonstrated that stable state duration is influenced by interaction width, leading to various synchronization behaviors, including frequency entrainment in non-phase-aligned drops.
