Coexisting chaos and order in micro-textured elastic flows

Giulio Foggi Rota, Ricardo Arturo Lopez de la Cruz, Simon J. Haward +2

Viscoelastic fluid flows over micro-textured surfaces - densely covered by slender protrusions like cilia lining the body airways or villi covering the intestinal epithelium - unde…

Elastic wakes mediate collective viscoelastic fluid-structure interactions in side-by-side cantilever arrays

Arisa Yokokoji, Amy Q. Shen, Simon J. Haward

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in viscoelastic flows past deformable structures at low Reynolds numbers remains poorly understood, despite its relevance to biological systems su…

Capillary-driven thinning of DNA solutions

Vincenzo Calabrese, Silvia Nardone, Amy Q. Shen +1

Capillary thinning of polymeric fluids is central to biological and industrial processes, yet the mechanisms governing thinning dynamics remain unresolved, especially for semi-flex…

Large Amplitude Oscillatory Extension (LAOE) of dilute polymer solutions

Steffen M. Recktenwald, Thomas P. John, Amy Q. Shen +3

This study presents an experimental framework for large amplitude oscillatory extension (LAOE) to investigate nonlinear material properties of complex fluids. Using a microfluidic…

The interplay of plasticity and elasticity in elastoviscoplastic flows in wavy channels

Mohamed S. Abdelgawad, Simon J. Haward, Amy Q. Shen +1

Elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids, which exhibit both solid-like and liquid-like behavior depending on the applied stress, are critical in industrial processes involving complex geom…

Effects of polydispersity and concentration on elastocapillary thinning of dilute polymer solutions

Vincenzo Calabrese, Amy Q. Shen, Simon J. Haward

The thinning of liquid bridges under capillary stress occurs in widespread processes like jetting, dripping, and spraying, and creates a strong extensional flow capable of stretchi…
