Rheological behaviour and flow dynamics of Vitreous Humour substitutes used in eye surgery during saccadic eye movements
Andreia F. Silva, Francisco Pimenta, Manuel A. Alves +1
This work discusses the rheology of several vitreous humour (VH) substitutes used in eye surgery (perfluorocarbons and silicone oils) and their flow behaviour when subjected to sac…
Extensional rheometry of mobile fluids. Part I: OUBER, an optimized uniaxial and biaxial extensional rheometer
Simon J. Haward, Francisco Pimenta, Stylianos Varchanis +4
We present a numerical optimization of a "6-arm cross-slot" device, yielding several three-dimensional shapes of fluidic channels designed to impose close approximations to ideal u…
Runaway dilaton models: improved constraints from the full cosmological evolution
Léo Vacher, Nils Schöneberg, J. D. F. Dias +2
One of the few firm predictions of string theory is the existence of a massless scalar field coupled to gravity, the dilaton. In its presence, the value of the fundamental constant…
