FSVPy: A Python-based Package for Fluorescent Streak Velocimetry (FSV)
Han Lin, Brendan C. Blackwell, Connor C. Call +4
Predictive constitutive equations that connect easy-to-measure transport properties (e.g., viscosity and conductivity) with system performance variables (e.g., power consumption an…
Mixing in chaotic flows with swimming bacteria
Ranjiangshang Ran, Quentin Brosseau, Brendan C. Blackwell +3
This is a manuscript accepted for publication on Physical Review Fluids, Gallery of Fluid Motion special issue. The manuscript is associated with a poster winner of the 39th Annual…
Understanding the rheology of kaolinite clay suspensions using Bayesian inference
Ranjiangshang Ran, Shravan Pradeep, Sébastien Kosgodagan Acharige +4
Mud is a suspension of fine-grained particles (sand, silt, and clay) in water. The interaction of clay minerals in mud gives rise to complex rheological behaviors, such as yield st…
A simple catch: thermal fluctuations enable hydrodynamic trapping of microrollers by obstacles
Ernest B. van der Wee, Brendan C. Blackwell, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga +4
It is known that obstacles can hydrodynamically trap bacteria and synthetic microswimmers in orbits, where the trapping time heavily depends on the swimmer flow field and noise is…
Bacteria hinder large-scale transport and enhance small-scale mixing in time-periodic flows
Ranjiangshang Ran, Quentin Brosseau, Brendan C. Blackwell +3
Understanding mixing and transport of passive scalars in active fluids is important to many natural (e.g. algal blooms) and industrial (e.g. biofuel, vaccine production) processes.…
Liquid-solid impacts of yield-stress fluids
Marc E. Deetjen, Brendan C. Blackwell, Joseph E. Gaudio +1
This is an entry to the Gallery of Fluid Motion at the 66th annual meeting of the APS-DFD, held November 2013 in Pittsburgh, PA. In this fluid dynamics video we demonstrate distinc…
