AI-aided Geometric Design of Anti-infection Catheters
Tingtao Zhou, Xuan Wan, Daniel Zhengyu Huang +6
Bacteria can swim upstream due to hydrodynamic interactions with the fluid flow in a narrow tube, and pose a clinical threat of urinary tract infection to patients implanted with c…
Polyelectrolyte Knot Delocalization Induced by Counterion Condensation
Shensheng Chen, Tingtao Zhou
Knots on ring polymers tend to be tight. For knots on charged polymers (polyelectrolytes), electrostatic repulsion among the monomers is considered to enhance the persistence lengt…
Turbulent Transport of Dust Particles in Protostellar Disks: The Effect of Upstream Diffusion
Tingtao Zhou, Hongping Deng, Yi-Xian Chen +1
We study the long-term radial transport of micron to mm-size grain in protostellar disks (PSDs) based on diffusion and viscosity coefficients measured from 3D global stratified-dis…
Activity-induced propulsion of a vesicle
Zhiwei Peng, Tingtao Zhou, John F. Brady
Modern biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery require a delivery system capable of enhanced transport beyond that of passive Brownian diffusion. In this work an osm…
Blistering Failure of Elastic Coatings with Applications to Corrosion Resistance
Surya Effendy, Tingtao Zhou, Henry Eichman +2
A variety of polymeric surfaces, such as anti-corrosion coatings and polymer-modified asphalts, are prone to blistering when exposed to moisture and air. As water and oxygen diffus…
Distribution and pressure of active Lévy swimmers under confinement
Tingtao Zhou, Zhiwei Peng, Mamikon Gulian +1
Many active matter systems are known to perform Lévy walks during migration or foraging. Such superdiffusive transport indicates long-range correlated dynamics. These behavior patt…
Soft-mode and Anderson-like localization in two-phase disordered media
Tingtao Zhou, Dimitrios Fraggedakis, Fan Wang
Wave localization is ubiquitous in disordered media -- from amorphous materials, where soft-mode localization is closely related to materials failure, to semi-conductors, where And…
Dielectric breakdown by electric-field induced phase separation
Dimitrios Fraggedakis, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Tingtao Zhou +1
The control of the dielectric and conductive properties of device-level systems is important for increasing the efficiency of energy- and information-related technologies. In some…
Vortices of Electro-osmotic Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
Mohammad Mirzadeh, Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Amin Amooie +3
Traditional models of electrokinetic transport in porous media are based on homogenized material properties, which neglect any macroscopic effects of microscopic fluctuations. This…
Theory of Freezing Point Depression in Charged Porous Media
Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Dimitrios Fraggedakis +2
Freezing in charged porous media can induce significant pressure and cause damage to tissues and functional materials. We formulate a thermodynamically consistent theory to model f…
Multiscale Poromechanics of Wet Cement Paste
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Franz-Josef Ulm +2
Capillary effects such as imbibition-drying cycles impact the mechanics of granular systems over time. A multiscale poromechanics framework was applied to cement paste, that is the…
Freezing point depression and freeze-thaw damage by nano-fuidic salt trapping
Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Roland J. -M. Pellenq +1
A remarkable variety of organisms and wet materials are able to endure temperatures far below the freezing point of bulk water. Cryo-tolerance in biology is usually attributed to "…
Capillary stress and structural relaxation in moist granular materials
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Enrico Masoero +3
We propose a theoretical framework to calculate capillary stresses in complex mesoporous materials, such as moist sand, nanoporous hydrates, and drying colloidal films. Molecular s…
On the IMF in a Triggered Star Formation Context
Tingtao Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang, D. N. C. Lin +2
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental issue in the theory of star formation. It is generally fit with a composite power law. Some clues on the prog…
Inferring Pore Connectivity from Sorption Hysteresis in Multiscale Porous Media
Matthew B. Pinson, Tingtao Zhou, Hamlin M. Jennings +1
Vapor adsorption experiments are widely used to assess pore size distributions, but the large hysteresis sometimes observed between sorption and desorption isotherms remains diffic…
On the Coagulation and Size Distribution of Pressure Confined Cores
Xu Huang, Tingtao Zhou, D. N. C. Lin
Observations of the Pipe Nebula have led to the discovery of dense starless cores. The mass of most cores is too small for their self gravity to hold them together. Instead, they a…
