Limits to crystallization pressure
Lei Li, Felix Kohler, Joanna Dziadkowiec +5
Crystallization pressure drives deformation and damage in monuments, buildings and the Earth's crust. Even though the phenomenon has been known for 170 years there is no agreement…
Microfluidic control of nucleation and growth of calcite
Lei Li, Jesus R. Sanchez, Felix Kohler +2
The nucleation and growth of calcite is an important research in scientific and industrial field. Both the macroscopic and microscopic observation of calcite growth have been repor…
An Eulerian formulation of immersed interface method for membranes with tangential stretching
Lei Li
The forces generated by moving interfaces usually include the parts due to tangential stretching. We derive an evolution equation for the tangential stretching, which then forms th…
A locally gradient-preserving reinitialization for level set functions
Lei Li, Xiaoqian Xu, Saverio E. Spagnolie
The level set method commonly requires a reinitialization of the level set function due to interface motion and deformation. We extend the traditional technique for reinitializing…
The sedimentation of flexible filaments: Trajectories, particle clouds and a buckling instability
Harishankar Manikantan, Lei Li, David Saintillan +1
In this fluid dynamics video we explore an array of different possible dynamics for a flexible filament sedimenting in a viscous fluid. The time-dependent shapes and trajectories o…
The sedimentation of flexible filaments
Lei Li, Harishankar Manikantan, David Saintillan +1
The dynamics of a flexible filament sedimenting in a viscous fluid are explored analytically and numerically. Compared to the well-studied case of sedimenting rigid rods, the intro…
