Dye Attenuation Without Dye: Quantifying Concentration Fields with Short-wave Infrared Imaging

George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1

Dye attenuation, or photometric imaging, is an optical technique commonly used in fluid dynamics to measure tracer concentration fields and fluid thicknesses under the assumption t…

Pattern Formation in Crumpled Hydrogel upon Rapid Dehydration with Acetone

George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1

From microactuators to biological tissues, non-porous materials with the ability to strongly expand when in contact with a solvent are ubiquitous. Consequently, the swelling of pol…

Biophysical Fluid Dynamics in a Petri Dish

George T. Fortune, Eric Lauga, Raymond E. Goldstein

The humble Petri dish is perhaps the simplest setting in which to examine the locomotion of swimming organisms, particularly those whose body size is tens of microns to millimetres…

Droplet absorption and spreading into thin layers of polymer hydrogels

Merlin A. Etzold, George T. Fortune, Julien R. Landel +1

From biological tissues to layers of paint, macroscopic non-porous materials with the capacity to swell when brought in contact with an appropriate solvent are ubiquitous. Here, we…

Biofilm Growth Under Elastic Confinement

George T. Fortune, Nuno M. Oliveira, Raymond E. Goldstein

Bacteria often form surface-bound communities, embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix, called biofilms. Quantitative studies of their growth have typically focused on unc…

The fluid dynamics of collective vortex structures of plant-animal worms

George T. Fortune, Alan Worley, Ana B. Sendova-Franks +4

Circular milling, a stunning manifestation of collective motion, is found across the natural world, from fish shoals to army ants. It has been observed recently that the plant-anim…
