Droplet coalescence in fluids obeying Darcy's law
Jing Wang, Haicen Yue, Nandish Vora +4
During drop coalescence, a connecting bridge of fluid forms and rapidly expands due to surface tension. For spherical drops, these dynamics are well understood in both the viscous…

Nonreciprocal interactions drive intermittent melting of Coulomb clusters
Zhicheng Shu, Wei-Chih Li, Wentao Yu +1
Complex systems out of equilibrium often experience intermittent oscillations between quiescent and highly dynamic states. While intermittency is usually driven by stochastic noise…

A microstructural rheological model for transient creep in polycrystalline ice
Alex J. Vargas, Ranjiangshang Ran, Justin C. Burton
The slow creep of glacial ice plays a key role in sea-level rise, yet its transient deformation remains poorly understood. Glen's flow law, where strain rate is simply a function o…
