Microscopic contact line dynamics dictate the emergent behaviors of particle rafts
Ranit Mukherjee, Zih-Yin Chen, Xiang Cheng +1
Fluid-fluid interfaces laden with discrete particles behave curiously like continuous elastic sheets, leading to their applications in emulsion and foam stabilization. Although exi…

Optimal free-surface pumping by an undulating carpet
Anupam Pandey, Zih-Yin Chen, Jisoo Yuk +5
Examples of fluid flows driven by undulating boundaries are found in nature across many different length scales. Even though different driving mechanisms have evolved in distinct e…

Corona splashing triggered by a loose monolayer of particles
Ehsan Esmaili, Zih-Yin Chen, Anupam Pandey +3
In nature, high-speed raindrops often impact and spread on particulate surfaces (e.g., soil, plant leaves with spores or pollen). We study the dynamics of droplet impact on a loose…
