Thesis Partner: Snigdha Shiuly Tikader

Objectives and Outcomes

1. Numerical analysis (ANSYS Fluent Software) of non-Newtonian behavior of CTC and its effect on the pressure profile

2. Detailed investigations on variable flowrate by observing streamlines and cell deformation

3. A thorough analysis of the effects of different contact angles on cell deformation.

4. An international conference paper has been published on the 15th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics (ATE-HEFAT 2021) [Link]

   5. Preparation of a journal of this research is on progress
