Surface tension of flowing soap films
Aakash Sane, Shreyas Mandre, Ildoo Kim
The surface tension of flowing soap films is measured with respect to the film thickness and the concentration of soap solution. We perform this measurement by measuring the curvat…
Transverse contributions to the longitudinal stiffness of the human foot
Ali Yawar, Lucia Korpas, Shreyas Mandre +1
Humans rely on foot stiffness to withstand the propulsive forces of walking and running. Skeletal adaptations that increase foot stiffness include the medial longitudinal arch (MLA…
Stiffness of the human foot and evolution of the transverse arch
Madhusudhan Venkadesan, Marcelo A. Dias, Dhiraj K. Singh +2
Foot stiffness underlies its mechanical function, and is central to the evolution of human bipedal locomotion. The stiff and propulsive human foot has two distinct arches, the long…
Hydrodynamic signatures of stationary Marangoni-driven surfactant transport
S. Mandre, V. S. Akella, D. K. Singh +2
We experimentally study steady Marangoni-driven surfactant transport on the interface of a deep water layer. Using hydrodynamic measurements, and without using any knowledge of the…
Axisymmetric spreading of surfactant from a point source
S. Mandre
Guided by computation, we theoretically calculate the steady flow driven by Marangoni stress due to surfactant introduced on a fluid interface at a constant rate. Two separate extr…
Dynamics of a Camphoric Acid boat at the air-water interface
V. S. Akella, D. K. Singh, S. Mandre +1
We report experiments on an agarose gel tablet loaded with camphoric acid (c-boat) set into self-motion by interfacial tension gradients at the air-water interface. We observe thre…
