    No full text
    Iyothee Thass Pandit established the 'South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association' (1898) in Rayapetta, Chennai and through it he did various things for Buddhist revival and social change. One of them was the evening sermon held every Sunday. From 1907 to 1914 more than twenty sermon summaries appeared in the magazine 'Tamil'. At that time, Pandit Ayodhitasa's sermons helped a lot in enlightening the people. The ideologies that had dominated the society and the common people for a long time were rendered meaningless after the preaching of Pandit Iyothee Thass. His activities were primarily to restore Buddhism at the cultural level and to eradicate politically and oppose the intrigues that surrounded the common people. Who is man? What is religion? Who is Brahmin? The sermons are based on the answers to the questions included. He preached on the truth of the Bhagavad Gita, the origin of the name India, the differences in the history of the Buddha, etc., in a rational and Buddhist context, with literary flair and satire. These are innovative and primary to today's world of knowledge. M. Singaravelar, who operated in the field of knowledge in the twentieth century, P. Lakshmi Narasu, K. Swapaneshwari Ambal and others preached at the Buddhist Society and supported the social change. Pandit has also delivered speeches along with eminent personalities with intellectual backgrounds. The sermons initiated by the Pandit were conducted in many branches of the South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association. The Buddhist association of Kolar Gold Field, Bangalore, Irangoon (Burma), Tirupattur, Nettal (South Africa) carried out the preaching very well. Youth associations which functioned as a part of the Buddhist association also gave importance to preaching. The seed of preaching planted by the Pandit through the Buddhist association grew into a huge bodhi tree during his lifetime. It is the ideological extension of the Aadivaara (Sunday) Malai (Evening) sermon that continues in today's Buddhist and rationalist movements

    Universal Statistical Properties of Inertial-particle Trajectories in Three-dimensional, Homogeneous, Isotropic, Fluid Turbulence

    No full text
    We obtain new universal statistical properties of heavy-particle trajectories in three-dimensional, statistically steady, homogeneous, and isotropic turbulent flows by direct numerical simulations. We show that the probability distribution functions (PDFs) P(Φ), of the angle Φ between the Eulerian velocity u and the particle velocity v, at a point and time, scales as P(Φ) ∼Φ−, with a new universal exponent ≃ 4

    Spinodal decomposition in the inverse cascade of two-dimensional, binary-fluid turbulence

    No full text
    We study spinodal decomposition in the inverse-cascade regime of two dimensional turbulence in symmetric, binary fluid mixtures. We show that turbulence leads to break up of domains whose size, in the inverse cascade regime, is proportional to the Hinze scale. Even more strikingly, we show that the inverse cascade of energy is blocked by the formation of domains

    Multifractal Droplet Dynamics in Two-Dimensional, binary-fluid turbulence

    No full text
    We present the most extensive direct numerical simulations, attempted so far, of statistically steady, homogeneous, isotropic turbulence in two-dimensional, binary-fluid mixtures with air-drag-induced friction. We model this mixture by using the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations and choose parameters, e.g., the surface tension, such that we have a droplet of the minority phase moving inside a turbulent background of the majority phase. Our study reveals that a single droplet, whose mean radius lies in the inertial range of scales, (a) enhances the the forward-cascade part of the energy spectrum of two-dimensional turbulence and (b) stretches the tails of the PDF of the Okubo-Weiss parameter Λ\Lambda. We show that the dynamics of the droplet is affected significantly by the turbulence in the fluid. In particular, the PDFs of the components of the acceleration shows wide, non-Guassian tails. We characterize the time dependence of the deformation of the droplet and show that it exhibits multifractality
