Transport and removal of a passive tracer in porous media employing surface washing
Georgia Ioannou, Francesco Paolo Cont`o, Merlin A. Etzold +2
This experimental study investigates the dynamics of surface washing to remove a passive tracer from a porous plate by a gravity-driven liquid film across its surface. A disodium f…
Dye Attenuation Without Dye: Quantifying Concentration Fields with Short-wave Infrared Imaging
George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1
Dye attenuation, or photometric imaging, is an optical technique commonly used in fluid dynamics to measure tracer concentration fields and fluid thicknesses under the assumption t…
Pattern Formation in Crumpled Hydrogel upon Rapid Dehydration with Acetone
George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1
From microactuators to biological tissues, non-porous materials with the ability to strongly expand when in contact with a solvent are ubiquitous. Consequently, the swelling of pol…
Three-dimensional diffusive-thermal instability of flames propagating in a plane Poiseuille flow
Aiden Kelly, Prabakaran Rajamanickam, Joel Daou +1
The three-dimensional diffusive-thermal stability of a two-dimensional flame propagating in a Poiseuille flow is examined. The study explores the effect of three non-dimensional pa…
Drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels at high Péclet numbers
Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3
Motivated by microfluidic applications, we investigate drag reduction in laminar pressure-driven flows in channels with streamwise-periodic superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) contami…
Exogenous-endogenous surfactant interaction yields heterogeneous spreading in complex branching networks
Richard Mcnair, Fernando Temprano-Coleto, François J. Peaudecerf +4
Experiments have shown that surfactant introduced to a liquid-filled maze can find the solution path. We reveal how the maze-solving dynamics arise from interactions between the ad…
Unsteady evolution of slip and drag in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels
Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3
Recognising that surfactants can impede the drag reduction resulting from superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs), we investigate the impact of spatio-temporal fluctuations in surfactant…
Confinement-induced drift in Marangoni-driven transport of surfactant: a Lagrangian perspective
Richard Mcnair, Oliver E. Jensen, Julien R. Landel
Successive drops of coloured ink mixed with surfactant are deposited onto a thin film of water to create marbling patterns in the Japanese art technique of Suminagashi. To understa…
A model for slip and drag in turbulent flows over superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant
Samuel D. Tomlinson, François Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +4
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) can reduce the friction drag in turbulent flows. In the laminar regime, it has been shown that trace amounts of surfactant can negate this drag red…
Laminar drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels
Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3
While superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) show promise for drag reduction applications, their performance can be compromised by traces of surfactant, which generate Marangoni stresses…
Droplet absorption and spreading into thin layers of polymer hydrogels
Merlin A. Etzold, George T. Fortune, Julien R. Landel +1
From biological tissues to layers of paint, macroscopic non-porous materials with the capacity to swell when brought in contact with an appropriate solvent are ubiquitous. Here, we…
Surfactant spreading in a two-dimensional cavity and emergent contact-line singularities
Richard Mcnair, Oliver E. Jensen, Julien R. Landel
We model the advective Marangoni spreading of insoluble surfactant at the free surface of a viscous fluid that is confined within a two-dimensional rectangular cavity. Interfacial…
A single parameter can predict surfactant impairment of superhydrophobic drag reduction
Fernando Temprano-Coleto, Scott M. Smith, François J. Peaudecerf +3
Recent experimental and computational investigations have shown that trace amounts of surfactants, unavoidable in practice, can critically impair the drag reduction of superhydroph…
Three-dimensional advective--diffusive boundary layers in open channels with parallel and inclined walls
Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel, Stuart B. Dalziel
We study the steady laminar advective transport of a diffusive passive scalar released at the base of narrow three-dimensional longitudinal open channels with non-absorbing side wa…
A theory for the slip and drag of superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant
Julien R. Landel, François J. Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +3
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to reduce drag at solid boundaries. However, multiple independent studies have recently shown that small amounts of surfactant,…
Traces of surfactants can severely limit the drag reduction of superhydrophobic surfaces
François J. Peaudecerf, Julien R. Landel, Raymond E. Goldstein +1
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to achieve large drag reduction for internal and external flow applications. However, experiments have shown inconsistent result…
Convective mass transfer from a submerged drop in a thin falling film
Julien R. Landel, A. L. Thomas, H. McEvoy +1
We study the fluid mechanics of removing a passive tracer contained in small, viscous drops attached to a flat inclined substrate using thin gravity-driven film flows. A convective…
