Rheological behaviour and flow dynamics of Vitreous Humour substitutes used in eye surgery during saccadic eye movements
Andreia F. Silva, Francisco Pimenta, Manuel A. Alves +1
This work discusses the rheology of several vitreous humour (VH) substitutes used in eye surgery (perfluorocarbons and silicone oils) and their flow behaviour when subjected to sac…
Shear rheology of a dilute emulsion of ferrofluid droplets dispersed in a non-magnetizable carrier fluid under the influence of a uniform magnetic field
Paolo Capobianchi, Marcello Lappa, Mónica S. N. Oliveira +1
The effect of a spatially uniform magnetic field on the shear rheology of a dilute emulsion of monodispersed ferrofluid droplets, immersed in a non-magnetizable immiscible fluid, i…
Optimised hyperbolic microchannels for the mechanical characterisation of bio-particles
Yanan Liu, Konstantinos Zografos, Joana Fidalgo +8
The transport of bio-particles in viscous flows exhibits a rich variety of dynamical behaviour, such as morphological transitions, complex orientation dynamics or deformations. Cha…
Creeping thermocapillary motion of a Newtonian droplet suspended in a viscoelastic fluid
Paolo Capobianchi, Mahdi Davoodi, Robert J. Poole +3
In this work we consider theoretically the problem of a Newtonian droplet moving in an otherwise quiescent infinite viscoelastic fluid under the influence of an externally applied…
Spatio-temporal dynamics of dilute red blood cell suspensions in a microchannel flow at low Reynolds number
Qi Zhou, Joana Fidalgo, Lavinia Calvi +4
Microfluidic technologies are commonly used for the manipulation of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions and analyses of flow-mediated biomechanics. To enhance the performance of micro…
Iterated stretching and multiple beads-on-a-string phenomena in dilute solutions of highly-extensible flexible polymers
Monica S. N. Oliveira, Gareth H. McKinley
The dynamics of elastocapillary thinning in high molecular weight polymer solutions are re-examined using high-speed digital video microscopy. At long times, the evolution of the v…
