Rheology of Two-Dimensional Dilute Emulsions
Thomas Appleford, Vatsal Sanjay, Maziyar Jalaal
The single droplet under shear is a foundational problem in fluid mechanics. In computational fluid dynamics, the two-dimensional (2D) formulation offers advantages in both computa…
Spreading droplets of yield-stress fluids with and without gravity
Linnea Heitmeier, Olfa D'Angelo, Maziyar Jalaal +1
We investigate the effect of gravity on the spreading of droplets of yield stress fluids, by performing both microgravity experiments (in a drop tower) and experiments under terres…
Bouncing microdroplets on hydrophobic surfaces
Jamie Mclauchlan, Jim S. Walker, Vatsal Sanjay +4
Intuitively, slow droplets stick to a surface and faster droplets splash or bounce. However, recent work suggests that on non-wetting surfaces, whether microdroplets stick or bounc…
Odd Droplets: Fluids with Odd Viscosity and Highly Deformable Interfaces
Hugo França, Maziyar Jalaal
Flows with deformable interfaces are commonly controlled by applying an external field or modifying the boundaries that interact with the fluid, but realizing such solutions can be…
Laser-induced droplet deformation: curvature inversion explained from instantaneous pressure impulse
Hugo França, Hermann Karl Schubert, Oscar Versolato +1
We investigate the shape of a tin sheet formed from a droplet struck by a nanosecond laser pulse. Specifically, we examine the dynamics of the process as a function of laser beam p…
Optimal disk packing of chloroplasts in plant cells
Nico Schramma, Eric R. Weeks, Maziyar Jalaal
Photosynthesis is vital for the survival of entire ecosystems on Earth. While light is fundamental to this process, excessive exposure can be detrimental to plant cells. Chloroplas…
