The motion, stability and breakup of a stretching liquid bridge with a receding contact line
Bian Qian, Kenneth S. Breuer
The complex behavior of drop deposition on a hydrophobic surface is considered by looking at a model problem in which the evolution of a constant-volume liquid bridge is studied as…

Micron-scale droplet deposition on a hydrophobic surface using a retreating syringe
Bian Qian, Melissa Loureiro, David Gagnon +2
Droplet deposition onto a hydrophobic surface is studied experimentally and numerically. A wide range of droplet sizes can result from the same syringe, depending strongly on the n…

Shape transition and propulsive force of an elastic rod rotating in a viscous fluid
Bian Qian, Thomas R. Powers, Kenneth S. Breuer
The deformation of thin rods in a viscous liquid is central to the mechanics of motility in cells ranging from \textit{Escherichia coli} to sperm. Here we use experiments and theor…
