Suspensions of non-Brownian rods: droplet pinch-off, onset of heterogeneity and effective extensional viscosity
Virgile Thiévenaz, Nathan Vani, Alban Sauret
The stretching and pinch-off of a liquid bridge is a simple way to probe when a suspension of particles stops behaving as a continuum. In this study, we consider density-matched su…
On the shape of air bubbles trapped in ice
Virgile Thiévenaz, Jochem G. Meijer, Detlef Lohse +1
Water usually contains dissolved gases, and because freezing is a purifying process these gases must be expelled for ice to form. Bubbles appear at the freezing front and are then…
Caging and fluid deformations in dense bidisperse suspensions
Virgile Thiévenaz, Nathan Vani, Alban Sauret
We investigate the link between the geometric environment of particles, the local deformations of the solvent, and the bulk effective viscosity in non-Brownian suspensions. First,…
Pinch-off of bubbles in a polymer solution
Sreeram Rajesh, Sumukh S Peddada, Virgile Thiévenaz +1
The formation of gas bubbles in a liquid occurs in various engineering processes, such as during foam generation or agitation and mixing in bubbly flows. A challenge in describing…
Pinch-off of viscoelastic particulate suspensions
Virgile Thiévenaz, Alban Sauret
The formation of drops of a complex fluid, for instance including dissolved polymers and/or solid particles, has practical implications in several industrial and biophysical proces…
Solidification dynamic of an impacted drop
Virgile Thiévenaz, Thomas Séon, Christophe Josserand
This paper is dedicated to the solidification of a water drop impacting a cold solid surface. In a first part, we establish a 1D solidification model, derived from the Stefan probl…
