Elastic pseudoturbulence induced by low-Galilei settling spheres
Ludovico FossÃ, Michele Macaluso, Luca Brandt +1
In this Letter, we show how a suspension of light solid spheres settling through a polymer solution results in a chaotic and highly-intermittent state. By leveraging particle-resol…

Marangoni modulation of coupled Rayleigh-Taylor and Faraday instabilities in vertically oscillated liquid films
Jun Gao, Senlin Zhu, Luca Brandt +3
We investigate the Marangoni modulation of coupled Rayleigh-Taylor and Faraday instabilities in a vertically oscillated Newtonian liquid film carrying insoluble surfactants. Linear…

Dense Suspensions in Rotary Shear
Naveen Kumar Agrawal, Zhouyang Ge, Martin Trulsson +2
We introduce a novel unsteady shear protocol, which we name Rotary Shear (RS), where the flow and vorticity directions are continuously rotated around the velocity gradient directi…
