Static and Dynamic Estimation of Flexural Rigidity of Soybean
Akihito Kiyama, Haruka Tomobe, Jisoo Yuk +2
This paper evaluates a cantilever system as a simple method for measuring the mechanical rigidity (bending rigidity EI or Young's modulus E) of plants. Using soybeans as a test sam…
Optimal free-surface pumping by an undulating carpet
Anupam Pandey, Zih-Yin Chen, Jisoo Yuk +5
Examples of fluid flows driven by undulating boundaries are found in nature across many different length scales. Even though different driving mechanisms have evolved in distinct e…
Corona splashing triggered by a loose monolayer of particles
Ehsan Esmaili, Zih-Yin Chen, Anupam Pandey +3
In nature, high-speed raindrops often impact and spread on particulate surfaces (e.g., soil, plant leaves with spores or pollen). We study the dynamics of droplet impact on a loose…
On the design of particle filters inspired by animal noses
Jisoo Yuk, Aneek Chakraborty, Shyuan Cheng +5
Passive filtering is a common strategy used to reduce airborne disease transmission and particulate contaminants in buildings and individual covers. The engineering of high-perform…
Vapor flux on bumpy surfaces: condensation and transpiration on leaves
Sunghwan Jung
Drop condensation and evaportation as a result of the gradient in vapor concentration are important in both engineering and natural systems. One of the interesting natural examples…
Pinch-off dynamics to describe animal lapping
Sunghwan Jung
Some carnivorous mammals (e.g., cats and dogs) lap water with their tongues to drink water at high frequencies. Such a fast moving tongue creates a liquid column out of a bath whic…
