Transport and removal of a passive tracer in porous media employing surface washing
Georgia Ioannou, Francesco Paolo Cont`o, Merlin A. Etzold +2
This experimental study investigates the dynamics of surface washing to remove a passive tracer from a porous plate by a gravity-driven liquid film across its surface. A disodium f…

Pattern Formation in Crumpled Hydrogel upon Rapid Dehydration with Acetone
George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1
From microactuators to biological tissues, non-porous materials with the ability to strongly expand when in contact with a solvent are ubiquitous. Consequently, the swelling of pol…
