Visco-elastic drag forces and crossover from no-slip to slip boundary conditions for flow near air-water interfaces
Abdelhamid Maali, Rodolphe Boisgard, Hamza Chraibi +3
The "free" water surface is generally prone to contamination with surface impurities be they surfactants, particles or other surface active agents. The presence of such impurities…
Excitation of fountain and entrainment instabilities at the interface between two viscous fluids using a beam of laser light
Hamza Chraibi, Julien Petit, Régis Wunenburger +1
We report on two instabilities called viscous fountain and viscous entrainment triggered at the interface between two liquids by the action of bulk flows driven by a laser beam. Th…
Thermocapillary flows and interface deformations produced by localized laser heating in confined environment
Hamza Chraibi, Jean-Pierre Delville
The deformation of a fluid-fluid interface due to the thermocapillary stress induced by a continuous Gaussian laser wave is investigated analytically. We show that the direction of…
Eddies and interface deformations induced by optical streaming
Hamza Chraibi, Régis Wunenburger, Didier Lasseux +2
We study flows and interface deformations produced by the scattering of a laser beam propagating through non-absorbing turbid fluids. Light scattering produces a force density resu…
Influence of wettability on liquid water transport in gas diffusion layer of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC)
Hamza Chraibi, L. Ceballos, M. Prat +2
Water management is a key factor that limits PEFC's performance. We show how insights into this problem can be gained from pore-scale simulations of water invasion in a model fibro…
Laser microfluidics: fluid actuation by light
Jean-Pierre Delville, Matthieu Robert De Saint-Vincent, Robert D. Schroll +6
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical ac…
