RESEARCH PROJECT

My main project in the Ramachandran lab is the study of water-in-bitumen emulsions obtained after oil sands processing. The removal of water droplets is vital for further processing of the diluted bitumen (dil-bit) product. Unfortunately, conventional methods for removing these droplets have failed due to their small size (many times, less than a micron). We are identifying possible sources and mechanisms for the formation of these fine droplets. We are also developing methods to remove these water droplets from dil-bit.

As a side project, I am studying the effect of interfacial slip on coalescence of two drops in a uniaxial flow using boundary integral methods.
