Singular viscoelastic perturbation to soft lubrication
Bharti Bharti, Quentin Ferreira, Aditya Jha +5
Soft lubrication has been shown to drastically affect the mobility of an object immersed in a viscous fluid in the vicinity of a purely elastic wall. In this theoretical study, we…
Tuning the water intrinsic permeability of PEGDA hydrogel membranes by adding free PEG chains of varying molar masses
Malak Alaa Eddine, Alain Carvalho, M. Schmutz +6
We explore the effect of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) molar mass on the intrinsic permeability and structural characteristics of poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate PEGDA/PEG composi…
Capillary-lubrication force between rotating cylinders separated by a fluid interface
Aditya Jha, Yacine Amarouchene, Thomas Salez
Two cylinders rotating next to each other generate a large hydrodynamic force if the intermediate space is filled with a viscous fluid. Herein, we explore the case where the cylind…
Sieving and clogging in PEG-PEGDA hydrogel membranes
Malak Alaa Eddine, Alain Carvalho, M. Schmutz +5
Hydrogels are promising systems for separation applications due to their structural characteristics (i.e. hydrophilicity and porosity). In our study, we investigate the permeation…
Unsteady drag force on an immersed sphere oscillating near a wall
Zaicheng Zhang, Vincent Bertin, Martin Essink +6
The unsteady hydrodynamic drag exerted on an oscillating sphere near a planar wall is addressed experimentally, theoretically, and numerically. The experiments are performed by usi…
Elastocapillary bending of microfibers around liquid droplets
Rafael D. Schulman, Amir Porat, Kathleen Charlesworth +4
We report on the elastocapillary deformation of flexible microfibers in contact with liquid droplets. A fiber is observed to bend more as the size of the contacting droplet is incr…
