Spreading of viscoplastic droplets
Maziyar Jalaal, Boris Stoeber, Neil Balmforth
The spreading under surface tension and gravity of a droplet of yield-stress fluid over a thin film of the same material is studied. The droplet converges to a final equilibrium sh…
Emergence of bimodal motility in active droplets
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Ranabir Dey, Maziyar Jalaal +5
To explore and react to their environment, living micro-swimmers have developed sophisticated strategies for locomotion - in particular, motility with multiple gaits. To understand…
Stress-Induced Dinoflagellate Bioluminescence at the Single Cell Level
Maziyar Jalaal, Nico Schramma, Antoine Dode +3
One of the characteristic features of many marine dinoflagellates is their bioluminescence, which lights up nighttime breaking waves or seawater sliced by a ship's prow. While the…
Ripples in Thin Films
Maziyar Jalaal, Carola Seyfert, Jacco Snoeijer
Capillary ripples on thin viscous films are important features of coating and lubrication flows. Here we present experiments based on Digital Holographic Microscopy, measuring the…
