Jet coronation: Coexistence of compressible and incompressible dynamics
H. Watanabe, K. Hashimoto, W. K. A. Worby +4
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2025 American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Gallery of Fluid Motion Award for work presented at the DFD Gal…
Full-component reconstruction of three-dimensional fluid stress tensors
Shunsuke Kumagai, Shun Miyatake, Ryusuke Cho +5
Forces govern how fluids deform biological tissues, regulate cardiovascular function, and determine the performance and failure of soft materials. Recent advances in flow birefring…
Flow birefringence measurement in a radial Hele-Shaw cell considering three-dimensional effects
Misa Kawaguchi, William Kai Alexander Worby, Yuto Yokoyama +3
Flow birefringence measurement is an emerging technique for visualizing stress fields in fluid flows. This study investigates flow birefringence in the steady radial Hele-Shaw flow…
Extending flow birefringence analysis to combined extensional-shear flows via Jeffery-Hamel flow measurements
Miu Kobayashi, William Kai Alexander Worby, Misa Kawaguchi +3
This study investigates the relationship between phase retardation and strain rates in combined extensional-shear flows using the Jeffery-Hamel flow formalism, which yields an anal…
Flow birefringence of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions in three-dimensional flow fields: revisiting the stress-optic law
Kento Nakamine, Yuto Yokoyama, William Kai Alexander Worby +2
This study systematically investigates the flow birefringence of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions. The aim is to clarify the importance of the stress component along the cam…
