Viscoelasticity reduces the droplet size in mucosalivary film fragmentation during intense respiratory events

Mogeng Li, Youssef Saade, Stéphane Zaleski +3

We examine the fundamental fluid dynamical mechanisms dictating the generation of bioaerosols in the human trachea during intense respiratory events such as coughing and sneezing,…

Deforming ice with drops

Duco van Buuren, Pallav Kant, Jochem G. Meijer +2

A uniform solidification front undergoes non-trivial deformations when encountering an insoluble dispersed particle in a melt. For solid particles, the overall deformation characte…

Freezing-induced topological transition of double-emulsion

Jochem G. Meijer, Pallav Kant, Detlef Lohse

Solidification of complex liquids is pertinent to numerous natural and industrial processes. Here, we examine the freezing of a W/O/W double-emulsion, i.e., water-in-oil compound d…

Autothermotaxis of volatile drops

Pallav Kant, Mathieu Souzy, Nayoung Kim +2

When a drop of a volatile liquid is deposited on a uniformly heated wettable, thermally conducting substrate, one expects to see it spread into a thin film and evaporate. Contrary…

Thin-Film-Mediated Deformation of Droplet during Cryopreservation

Jochem G. Meijer, Pallav Kant, Duco Van Buuren +1

Freezing of dispersions is omnipresent in science and technology. While the passing of a freezing front over a solid particle is reasonably understood, this is not so for soft part…

Bags mediated film atomization in a cough machine

Pallav Kant, César Pairetti, Youssef Saade +3

We combine experiments and numerical computations to examine underlying fluid mechanical processes associated with bioaerosol generation during violent respiratory manoeuvres, such…
