Directed droplet motion -- Its versatile nature and anticipated applications
Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Andrey Milchev
Applications such as digital microfluidics and bio-diagnostics rely on droplet locomotion. A prominent example of such motion is durotaxis, a phenomenon that requires a stiffness g…
Effect of simple shear on knotted polymer coils and globules
Andrey Milchev, Maurice P. Schmitt, Peter Virnau
We explore the effect of Couette flow on knotted linear polymer chains with extensive Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Hydrodynamic interactions are accounted for by means of M…
Durotaxis and antidurotaxis droplet motion onto gradient gel-substrates
R. Kajouri, P. E. Theodorakis, A. Milchev
The self-sustained motion of fluids on gradient substrates is a spectacular phenomenon, which can be employed and controlled in applications by carefully engineering the substrate…
Antidurotaxis Droplet Motion onto Gradient Brush Substrates
Russell Kajouri, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Jan Židek +1
Durotaxis motion is a spectacular phenomenon manifesting itself by the autonomous motion of a nano-object between parts of a substrate with different stiffness. This motion usually…
Capillary filling with wall corrugations] Capillary filling in microchannels with wall corrugations: A comparative study of the Concus-Finn criterion by continuum, kinetic and atomistic approaches
S. Chibbaro, E. Costa, D. Dimitrov +5
We study the impact of wall corrugations in microchannels on the process of capillary filling by means of three broadly used methods - Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Lattice-B…
