Oscillating currents stabilize aluminium cells for efficient, low carbon production

Ibrahim Mohammad, Marc Dupuis, Paul D. Funkenbusch +1

Humankind produced 63.7 million metric tons of aluminium in 2019, nearly all via an electrochemical process in which electrical current liberates molten Al from dissolved alumina.…

Competing forces in liquid metal electrodes and batteries

Rakan F. Ashour, Douglas H. Kelley, Alejandro Salas +3

Liquid metal batteries are proposed for low-cost grid scale energy storage. During their operation, solid intermetallic phases often form in the cathode and are known to limit the…

Fluid Mechanics of Liquid Metal Batteries

Douglas H. Kelley, Tom Weier

The design and performance of liquid metal batteries, a new technology for grid-scale energy storage, depend on fluid mechanics because the battery electrodes and electrolytes are…

A coin vibrational motor swimming at low Reynolds number

Alice C. Quillen, Hesam Askari, Douglas H. Kelley +2

Low-cost coin vibrational motors, used in haptic feedback, exhibit rotational internal motion inside a rigid case. Because the motor case motion exhibits rotational symmetry, when…

Vector cylindrical harmonics for low-dimensional convection models

Douglas H. Kelley, Eric G. Blackman

Approximate empirical models of thermal convection can allow us to identify the essential properties of the flow in simplified form, and to produce empirical estimates using only a…

Quantifying stretching and rearrangement in epithelial sheet migration

Rachel M. Lee, Douglas H. Kelley, Kerstin N. Nordstrom +2

Although understanding the collective migration of cells, such as that seen in epithelial sheets, is essential for understanding diseases such as metastatic cancer, this motion is…
