Condensation dynamics of sticky and anchored flexible biopolymers
Adam R. Lamson, Mohammadhossein Firouznia, Michael J. Shelley
Cells regulate gene expression in part by forming DNA-protein condensates in the nucleus. While existing theories describe the equilibrium size and stability of such condensates, t…
Electrohydrodynamic drift of a drop away from an insulating wall
Diptendu Sen, Mohammadhossein Firouznia, David Saintillan +1
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift tow…
Self-organized dynamics of a viscous drop with interfacial nematic activity
Mohammadhossein Firouznia, David Saintillan
We study emergent dynamics in a viscous drop subject to interfacial nematic activity. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we show how the interplay of nematodynamics, activity-driven f…
A spectral boundary integral method for simulating electrohydrodynamic flows in viscous drops
Mohammadhossein Firouznia, Spencer H. Bryngelson, David Saintillan
A weakly conducting liquid droplet immersed in another leaky dielectric liquid can exhibit rich dynamical behaviors under the effect of an applied electric field. Depending on mate…
Electrohydrodynamic instabilities in freely suspended viscous films under normal electric fields
Mohammadhossein Firouznia, David Saintillan
Electrohydrodynamic instabilities of fluid-fluid interfaces can be exploited in various microfluidic applications in order to enhance mixing, replicate well-controlled patterns or…
Fully developed and transient concentration profiles of particulate suspensions sheared in a cylindrical Couette
Mohammad Sarabian, Mohammadhossein Firouznia, Bloen Metzger +1
We experimentally investigate particle migration in a non-Brownian suspension sheared in a Taylor-Couette configuration and in the limit of vanishing Reynolds number. Highly resolv…
