Microchannel flow of a shear-banding fluid: enhanced confinement effect and interfacial instability
P. Nghe, S. M. Fielding, P. Tabeling +1
Using a micro particle imaging velocity technique, we resolve for the first time the three dimensionnal structure of wormlike shear banding flows in straight microchannels. The stu…
A kinetic theory of plastic flow in soft glassy materials
Lyderic Bocquet, Annie Colin, Armand Ajdari
A kinetic model for the elasto-plastic dynamics of a flowing jammed material is proposed, which takes the form of a non-local -- Boltzmann-like -- kinetic equation for the stress d…
Towards an understanding of induced-charge electrokinetics at large applied voltages in concentrated solutions
Martin Z. Bazant, Mustafa Sabri Kilic, Brian D. Storey +1
The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute solution of point-like ions near a weakly charged surface, whose potential relative to the bulk…
Stochastic Low Reynolds Number Swimmers
Ramin Golestanian, Armand Ajdari
As technological advances allow us to fabricate smaller autonomous self-propelled devices, it is clear that at some point directed propulsion could not come from pre-specified dete…
Modeling phase behavior for quantifying micro-pervaporation experiments
Michael Schindler, Armand Ajdari
We present a theoretical model for the evolution of mixture concentrations in a micro-pervaporation device, similar to those recently presented experimentally. The described device…
Microfluidic velocimetry reveals spatial cooperativity in soft glassy flows
J. Goyon, A. Colin, G. Ovarlez +2
Amorphous glassy materials of diverse nature -- concentrated emulsions, granular materials, pastes, molecular glasses -- display complex flow properties, intermediate between solid…
