Viscoelastic thin film lubrication in finite width channels
Humayun Ahmed, Luca Biancofiore
Lubricant viscoelasticity arises due to a finite polymer relaxation time () and can provide beneficial effects. In applications, such as bearings, gears, biological joints, etc.…
The stability analysis of volatile liquid films in different evaporation regimes
Omair A. A. Mohamed, Luca Biancofiore
We investigate the role of the evaporation regime on the stability of a volatile liquid film flowing over an inclined heated surface while considering the dynamics of both the liqu…
Optically Driven Janus Micro Engine with Full Orbital Motion Control
David Bronte Ciriza, Agnese Callegari, Maria Grazia Donato +11
Microengines have shown promise for a variety of applications in nanotechnology, microfluidics and nanomedicine, including targeted drug delivery, microscale pumping, and environme…
Molecular Rheology of Nanoconfined Polymer Melts
Ahmet Burak Yıldırım, Aykut Erbaş, Luca Biancofiore
We use non-equilibrium atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of unentangled melts of linear and star polymers () to study the steady-state viscoelastic re…
Motility-induced shear thickening in dense colloidal suspensions
A. Gülce Bayram, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Hartmut Löwen +1
Phase transitions and collective dynamics of active colloidal suspensions are fascinating topics in soft matter physics, particularly for out-of-equilibrium systems, which can lead…
The effect of side walls on the stability of falling films
Hammam Mohamed, Jorn Sesterhenn, Luca Biancofiore
We study the influence of side walls on the stability of falling liquid films. We combine a temporal biglobal stability analysis based on the linearized Navier-Stokes equations wit…
Clustering of Janus Particles in Optical Potential Driven by Hydrodynamic Fluxes
S. Masoumeh Mousavi, Sabareesh K. P. Velu, Agnese Callegari +2
Self-organisation is driven by the interactions between the individual components of a system mediated by the environment, and is one of the most important strategies used by many…
Linear and nonlinear stability of a quasi-geostrophic mixing layer subject to a uniform background shear
Luca Biancofiore, Orkan M. Umurhan
The aim of this work is to shed light by revisiting - through the kernel-wave (KW) perspective - the breakdown of a quasi-geostrophic (QG) mixing layer (or vortex strip/filament) i…
Microscopic Engine Powered by Critical Demixing
Falko Schmidt, Alessandro Magazzu, Agnese Callegari +3
By converting energy into mechanical work, engines play a central role in most biological and technological processes. In particular, within the current trend towards the developme…
