Capillary imbibition of monodisperse emulsions in confined microfluidic channels
Masoud Norouzi Darabad, Sagnik Singha, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz +2
We investigate imbibition of a monodisperse emulsion into a low-aspect ratio microfluidic channel with the height h comparable to the droplet diameter d. For confinement ratio d/h…
Enhanced flow rate by the concentration mechanism of Tetris particles when discharged from a hopper with an obstacle
Guo-Jie Jason Gao, Fu-Ling Yang, Michael C. Holcomb +1
We apply a holistic 2D Tetris-like model, where particles move based on prescribed rules, to investigate the flow rate enhancement from a hopper. This phenomenon was originally rep…
Understanding the Local Flow Rate Peak of a Hopper Discharging Discs through an Obstacle Using a Tetris-like Model
Guo-Jie J. Gao, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Michael C. Holcomb +1
Placing a round obstacle above the orifice of a flat hopper discharging uniform frictional discs has been experimentally and numerically shown in the literature to create a local p…
State diagram of a three-sphere microswimmer in a channel
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Maciej Lisicki, Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen +5
Geometric confinements are frequently encountered in soft matter systems and in particular significantly alter the dynamics of swimming microorganisms in viscous media. Surface-rel…
Navigation of C. elegans in three-dimensional media: roll maneuvers and planar turns
Alejandro Bilbao, Amar K. Patel, Mizanur Rahman +2
Free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful genetic model, essential for investigations ranging from behavior to neuroscience to aging, and locomotion is a key observ…
Maximum likelihood estimations of force and mobility from short single Brownian trajectories
Raphael Sarfati, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Eric R. Dufresne
We describe a method to extract force and diffusion parameters from single trajectories of Brownian particles based on the principle of maximum likelihood. The analysis is well-sui…
