Long rigid fibres in a turbulent channel flow: comparison between experiments and simulations
Defa Sun, Florian Zumbo, Christophe Pitiot +4
The dynamics of long rigid fibres transported by turbulent channel flow are investigated experimentally and numerically. Experiments use polystyrene fibres of three lengths, $\ell/…
Exponential Stress Relaxation Driven by Elementary Plastic Events in Non-Ageing Liquid Foams
F. Schott, B. Dollet, C. M. Schlepütz +5
Liquid foams are archetypal athermal amorphous solids whose elasticity arises from the jamming of densely packed bubbles. We investigate the stress relaxation of non-ageing liquid…
Soap Film Drainage Using a Centrifugal Thin Film Balance
Antoine Monier, Kévin Gutierrez, Cyrille Claudet +3
Surface bubbles are an abundant source of aerosols, with important implications for climate processes. In this context, we investigate the stability and thinning dynamics of soap f…
Multiscale stress dynamics in sheared liquid foams revealed by tomo-rheoscopy
Florian Schott, Benjamin Dollet, Stéphane Santucci +5
Rheology aims at quantifying the response of materials to mechanical forcing. However, standard rheometers provide only global macroscopic quantities, such as viscoelastic moduli.…
Self-similar and Universal Dynamics in Drainage of Mobile Soap Films
Antoine Monier, François-Xavier Gauci, Cyrille Claudet +3
Vertical soap films drain under the influence of gravity, as indicated by the downward motion of colorful horizontal interference fringes observed on their surfaces. In this study…
