Droplet Breakup Against an Isolated Obstacle

David J. Meer, Shivnag Sista, Mark D. Shattuck +2

We describe combined experiments and simulations of droplet breakup during flow-driven interactions with a circular obstacle in a quasi-two-dimensional microfluidic chamber. Due to…

Flow and clogging of capillary droplets

Yuxuan Cheng, Benjamin F. Lonial, Shivnag Sista +5

Capillary droplets form due to surface tension when two immiscible fluids are mixed. We describe the motion of gravity-driven capillary droplets flowing through narrow constriction…

Circle radius distributions determine random close packing density

David J. Meer, Isabela Galoustian, Julio Gabriel de Falco Manuel +1

Circles of a single size can pack together densely in a hexagonal lattice, but adding in size variety disrupts the order of those packings. We conduct simulations which generate de…

Bounded Distributions place Limits on Skewness and Larger Moments

David J Meer, Eric R. Weeks

Distributions of strictly positive numbers are common and can be characterized by standard statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, and skewness. We demonstrate that…

The lifetime of charged dust in the atmosphere

Josh Méndez Harper, Dana Harvey, Tianshu Huang +3

Windblown dust plays critical roles in numerous geophysical and biological systems, yet current models fail to explain the transport of coarse-mode particles (>5 m) to great dis…
