Cell Motility Dependence on Adhesive Wetting
Yuansheng Cao, Richa Karmakar, Elisabeth Ghabache +6
Adhesive cell-substrate interactions are crucial for cell motility and are responsible for the necessary traction that propels cells. These interactions can also change the shape o…
Pneumatic capillary gun for ballistic delivery of microparticles
Dmitry Rinberg, Claire Simonnet, Alex Groisman
A pneumatic gun for ballistic delivery of microparticles to soft targets is proposed and demonstrated. The particles are accelerated by a high speed flow of Helium in a capillary t…
Chaotic flow and efficient mixing in a micro-channel with a polymer solution
Teodor Burghelea, Enrico Segre, Israel Bar-Joseph +2
Microscopic flows are almost universally linear, laminar and stationary because Reynolds number, , is usually very small. That impedes mixing in micro-fluidic devices, which so…
Elastic turbulence in curvilinear flows of polymer solutions
Alexander Groisman, Victor Steinberg
Following our first report (A. Groisman and V. Steinberg, $\sl Nature$ , 53 (2000)) we present an extended account of experimental observations of elasticity induced turbu…
Efficient Mixing at low Reynolds numbers using polymer additives
Alexander Groisman, Victor Steinberg
Mixing in fluids is a rapidly developing field of fluid mechanics \cite{Sreen,Shr,War}, being an important industrial and environmental problem. The mixing of liquids at low Reynol…
Non-Monotonic Dispersion of Surface Waves in Magnetic Fluids
Thomas Mahr, Ingo Rehberg, Alexander Groisman
The dispersion relation of surface waves of a magnetic fluid in a magnetic field is studied experimentally. We verify the theoretically predicted existence of a non-monotonic dispe…
