Preferential orientation of tracer spheroids in turbulent channel flow
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2019 : Axis-symmetric spheroids, such as rod-like and disk-like particles, have been found to orient preferentially in near-wall turbulence by both experiment and numerical simulation.

Deflection of Light due to Spheroidal Oblate Static Objects
Bulgarian Journal of Physics, 2023 Deflection of light due to massive objects was predicted by Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. This deflection of light has been calculated by many researchers in past, for spherically symmetric objects. But, in reality, most of these gravitating objects are not spherical instead they are ellipsoidal ( oblate) in shape.

Solid particles focusing, orienting, and de‐focusing in planar Poiseuille flow
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Three‐dimensional, time‐dependent lattice‐Boltzmann simulations of neutrally buoyant particles in planar Poiseuille flow have been performed. The particles are spherical or cylindrical (the latter with a length over diameter ratios in the range 1/3 to 2) and have volume fraction ranging from virtually zero (one particle) to 0.15. The channel's

Axi-symmetric motion of a porous approximate sphere in an approximate spherical container
Archives of Mechanics, 2013 The creeping motion of a porous approximate sphere at the instant it passes the center of an approximate spherical container with Ochoa-Tapia and Whitaker’s stress jump boundary condition has been investigated analytically.

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.This study provides the palynological analysis of 12 Crucianella L. taxa using LM and SEM. Variations in pollen size, aperture number, and exine ornamentation were identified as key traits, demonstrating their taxonomic value for distinguishing closely related species and subspecies within the genus. ABSTRACT Crucianella L.

An Efficient Computation of Effective Ground Range Using an Oblate Earth Model
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 An effcient method is presented to calculate the ground range of a ballistic missile trajectory on a nonrotating Earth. The spherical Earth model does not provide good approximation of distance between two locations on the surface of Earth.
