Bouncing to coalescence transition for droplet impact onto moving liquid pools
Daniel M. Harris, Luke F. L. Alventosa, Oliver Sand +5
A droplet impacting a deep fluid bath is as common as rain over the ocean. If the impact is sufficiently gentle, the mediating air layer remains intact, and the droplet may rebound…
Fast droplet impact onto slowly moving deep pools
Thomas C. Sykes, Luke F. L. Alventosa, J. Rafael Castrejon-Pita +3
When a fast droplet impacts a pool, the resulting ejecta sheet dynamics determine the final impact outcome. At low Capillary numbers, the ejecta sheet remains separate from a deep…
Drop rebound at low Weber number
Chase T. Gabbard, Elvis A. Aguero, Radu Cimpeanu +5
We study the rebound of drops impacting non-wetting substrates at low Weber number through experiment, direct numerical simulation, and reduced-order modeling. Submillimeter-s…
A simulation modeling framework for fluid motion and transport in a rocking bioreactor with application to cultivated meat production
Minki Kim, Daniel M. Harris, Radu Cimpeanu
Rocking or wave-mixed bioreactors have emerged as a promising innovation in the production of cultivated meat due to their disposable nature, low operating costs, and scalability.…
