Magnetorheological Characterization of Blood Analogues Seeded with Paramagnetic Particles
R. Rodrigues, F. J. Galindo-Rosales, L. Campo-Deaño
Magnetic particle under external fields can be useful in various medical applications, gaining access to the whole body if deployed in the bloodstream. Localised drug delivery, hae…
Unfocused laser ignition of high-pressure He-H2-O2 combustible mixtures
R. Grosso Ferreira, B. Carvalho, J. Rodrigues +4
We report consistent ignition of high-pressure (p > 20-30 bar) hydrogen-oxygen mixtures diluted with helium, using an unfocused Nd:YAG laser. This corresponds to laser irradiances…
On flow disturbances caused by pressure taps in highly elastic flows around a microfluidic cylinder
R. Rodrigues, T. Rodrigues, L. Campo-Deaño
The objective of this work is to characterise the onset of laterally asymmetric flow of viscoelastic solutions around a confined microfluidic cylinder, which was encountered in a r…
Dynamical Casimir effect with Robin boundary conditions
B. Mintz, C. Farina, P. A. Maia Neto +1
We consider a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions that satisfies a Robin boundary condition at a non-relativistic moving boundary. Using the perturbative approach introduced by…
Effects of non-parallelism on standard and magnetorheological measurements
R. Rodrigues, F. J. Galindo-Rosales, L. Campo-Deaño
Aiming towards the magnetorheological characterisation of whole human blood, we evaluated the suitability of our experimental setup for steady shear measurements with low-viscosity…
