Deforming Active Droplets in Viscoelastic Media
Prateek Dwivedi, Atishay Shrivastava, Naveen Tiwari +2
To mimic the motion of biological swimmers in bodily fluids, a novel experimental system of micellar solubilization driven active droplets in a visco-elastic polymeric solution is…
Droplet Migration in the Presence of a Reacting Surfactant at Low Péclet Numbers
Souradeep Roychowdhury, Rajarshi Chattopadhyay, Rahul Mangal +1
A surfactant-laden droplet of one fluid dispersed in another immiscible fluid serves as an artificial model system capable of mimicking microbial swimmers. Either an interfacial ch…
Mode-Switching of Active Droplets in Macromolecular Solutions
Prateek Dwivedi, Atishay Shrivastava, Dipin Pillai +1
Typical bodily and environmental fluids encountered by biological swimmers consist of dissolved macromolecules such as proteins and polymers, often rendering them non Newtonian. To…
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…
