Directional self-propelled transport of coalesced droplets on a superhydrophilic cylindrical wire
Leyun Feng, Youhua Jiang, Christian Machado +3
Droplets coalescing on flat surfaces tend to end up with the smaller droplet migrating into the larger one. We report a counter-intuitive droplet coalescence pattern on a superhydr…
Self-sustained oscillations in whiskers without vortex shedding
Shayan Heydari, Mitra J. Z. Hartmann, Neelesh A. Patankar +1
Sensing the flow of water or air disturbance is critical for the survival of many animals: flow information helps them localize food, mates, and prey and to escape predators. Acros…
A mechanics--based perspective on the function of human sphincters during functional luminal imaging probe manometry
Guy Elisha, Sourav Halder, Dustin A. Carlson +4
Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) is used to measure cross-sectional area (CSA) and pressure at sphincters. It consists of a catheter surrounded by a fluid filled cylindrical…
MRI-MECH: Mechanics-informed MRI to estimate esophageal health
Sourav Halder, Ethan M. Johnson, Jun Yamasaki +4
Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular medical imaging technique to generate image sequences of the flow of a contrast material inside tissues and organs. However, i…
Pressure -- area loop based phenotypic classification and mechanics of esophagogastric junction physiology
Guy Elisha, Sourav Halder, Shashank Acharya +5
The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is located at the distal end of the esophagus and acts as a valve allowing swallowed materials to enter the stomach and preventing acid reflux. I…
