Elastohydrodynamic instability of a spinning elastic disk
Sifan Yin, Paul R. Kaneelil, L. Mahadevan
A soft thin elastic disk spinning in a viscous fluid experiences centrifugal tension generated by rotation together with viscous shear generated by the surrounding flow. While the…
Surface wakes on ultra-soft solids
Aditi Chakrabarti, Divya Jaganathan, Robert Haussman +1
We explore the dynamical response of the free surface of an ultra-soft solid driven by a localized moving pressure disturbance. Experiments reveal a steady V-shaped wake analogous…
Instability-induced patterning of a jelling jet
Aditi Chakrabarti, Salem Al-Mosleh, L. Mahadevan
When a thin stream of aqueous sodium alginate is extruded into a reacting calcium chloride bath, it polymerizes into a soft elastic tube that spontaneously forms helical coils due…
Self-excited motions of volatile drops on swellable sheets
Aditi Chakrabarti, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan
When a volatile droplet is deposited on a floating swellable sheet, it becomes asymmetric, lobed and mobile. We describe and quantify this phenomena that involves nonequilibrium sw…
