Density-contrast induced inertial forces on particles in oscillatory flows
Siddhansh Agarwal, Gaurav Upadhyay, Yashraj Bhosale +2
Oscillatory flows have become an indispensable tool in microfluidics, inducing inertial effects for displacing and manipulating fluid-borne objects in a reliable, controllable, and…
Three-dimensional soft streaming
Songyuan Cui, Yashraj Bhosale, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming is an efficient rectification mechanism to exploit flow inertia at small scales for fluid and particle manipulation. It typically entails a fluid vibrating around…
An in vitro living system for flow rectification
Zhi Dou, Liu Hong, Zhengwei Li +7
Small - but finite - fluid inertia can be leveraged to generate steady flows out of liquid vibrations around an immersed interface. In engineering, external high-frequency drivers…
Soft streaming -- flow rectification via elastic boundaries
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming is an efficient mechanism to exploit inertia at the microscale for flow control. While streaming from rigid features has been thoroughly investigated, when body c…
Multi-curvature viscous streaming: flow topology and particle manipulation
Yashraj Bhosale, Giridar Vishwanathan, Tejaswin Parthasarathy +2
Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature, typically a solid body or a bubble. The ability of suc…
Three-dimensional geometry and topology effects in viscous streaming
Fan Kiat Chan, Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy +1
Recent studies on viscous streaming flows in two dimensions have elucidated the impact of body curvature variations on resulting flow topology and dynamics, with opportunities for…
An unrecognized force in inertial microfluidics
Siddhansh Agarwal, Fan Kiat Chan, Mattia Gazzola +1
Describing effects of small but finite inertia on suspended particles is a fundamental fluid dynamical problem that has never been solved in full generality. Modern microfluidics h…
A hyperelastic oscillatory Couette system
Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Yashraj Bhosale, Mattia Gazzola
We report (semi-)analytical solutions of a problem involving a visco-hyperelastic solid material layer sandwiched between two fluid layers, in turn confined by two long planar wall…
Shape curvature effects in viscous streaming
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming flows generated by objects of constant curvature (circular cylinders, infinite plates) have been well understood. Yet, characterization and understanding of such…
Streaming enhanced flow-mediated transport
Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Fan Kiat Chan, Mattia Gazzola
We investigate the capability of an active body (master) to manipulate a passive object (slave) purely via contactless flow-mediated mechanisms, motivated by potential applications…
Simulations of propelling and energy harvesting articulated bodies via vortex particle-mesh methods
Caroline Bernier, Mattia Gazzola, Renaud Ronsse +1
The emergence and understanding of new design paradigms that exploit flow induced mechanical instabilities for propulsion or energy harvesting demands robust and accurate flow stru…
Computational mechanics of soft filaments
Mattia Gazzola, Levi H. Dudte, Andrew G. McCormick +1
Soft slender structures are ubiquitous in natural and artificial systems and can be observed at scales that range from the nanometric to the kilometric, from polymers to space teth…
Learning to school in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions
Mattia Gazzola, Andrew A. Tchieu, Dmitry Alexeev +2
Schooling, an archetype of collective behavior, emerges from the interactions of fish responding to visual and other informative cues mediated by their aqueous environment. In this…
