Thermoosmosis of a near-critical binary fluid mixture: a general formulation and universal flow direction
Youhei Fujitani, Shunsuke Yabunaka
We consider a binary fluid mixture, which lies in the one-phase region near the demixing critical point, and study its transport through a capillary tube linking two large reservoi…
Universal direction in thermoosmosis of a near-critical binary fluid mixture
Shunsuke Yabunaka, Youhei Fujitani
We consider thermoosmosis of a near-critical binary fluid mixture, lying in the one-phase region, through a capillary tube in the presence of preferential adsorption of one compone…
Geometric pumping induced by shear flow in dilute liquid crystalline polymer solutions
Shunsuke Yabunaka, Hisao Hayakawa
We investigate nonlinear rheology of dilute liquid crystalline polymer solutions under time dependent two-directional shear flow. We analyze the Smoluchowski equation, which descri…
Hydrodynamics in bridging and aggregation of two colloidal particles in a near-critical binary mixture
Shunsuke Yabunaka, Ryuichi Okamoto, Akira Onuki
We investigate bridging and aggregation of two colloidal particles in a near-critical binary mixture when the fluid far from the particles is outside the coexistence (CX) curve and…
