Lifting a granular box by a half-buried rod
Ting-Heng Hsieh, Tzay-Ming Hong
We studied an interesting experiment that showed a half-buried chopstick lifting a full bottle of granules off the table. In Janssen theory, the friction force provided by the cont…
Tunneling Time for Walking Droplets on an Oscillating Liquid Surface
Chuan-Yu Hung, Ting-Heng Hsieh, Tzay-Ming Hong
In recent years, Couder and collaborators have initiated a series of studies on walking droplets. Experimentally, they found that at frequencies and amplitudes close to the onset o…
Dual residence time for droplet to coalesce with liquid surface
Ting-Heng Hsieh, Wei-Chi Li, Tzay-Ming Hong
When droplets approach a liquid surface, they have a tendency to merge in order to minimize surface energy. However, under certain conditions, they can exhibit a phenomenon called…
Phase Diagram and Snap-Off Transition for a Twisted Party Balloon
Yu-Chuan Cheng, Ting-Heng Hsieh, Jih-Chiang Tsai +1
All children enjoy inflating balloons and twisting them into different shapes and animals. Snapping the balloon into two separate compartments is a necessary step that bears resemb…
