Thin-gap averaging of variable-viscosity flows: application to thermoviscous fingering
Dipin S. Pillai, Jason R. Picardo, R. Narayanan
A consistent averaging technique, using the weighted residual integral boundary layer (WRIBL) method, is presented for flow through a thin-gap geometry wherein the fluid's viscosit…
Rheotaxis of Active Droplets
Prateek Dwivedi, Atishay Shrivastava, Dipin Pillai +1
Rheotaxis is a well-known phenomenon among microbial organisms and artificial active colloids, wherein the swimmers respond to an imposed flow. We report the first experimental evi…
Solute Induced Jittery Motion of Self-Propelled Droplets
Prateek Dwivedi, Bishwa Ranjan Si, Dipin S. Pillai +1
The intriguing role of the presence of solutes in the activity of a self-propelling droplet is investigated. A system of self-propelling micron sized 4-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitril…
