Mixing as a correlated aggregation process
Joris Heyman, Tanguy Le Borgne, Philippe Davy +1
Mixing describes the process by which solutes evolve from an initial heterogeneous state to uniformity under the stirring action of a fluid flow. Fluid stretching forms thin scalar…
Granular-like behavior of molecular flow in constricted nanopores
Y. Magnin, N. Chanut, D. A. Pantano +4
The fluid flow through porous media is described by Darcy's law, while the fluid/wall interactions can be neglected. In nanopores, where adsorption dominates, Darcy's extension has…
Drop fragmentation by laser-pulse impact
Alexander L. Klein, Dmitry Kurilovich, Henri Lhuissier +4
We study the fragmentation of a liquid drop that is hit by a laser pulse. The drop expands into a thin sheet that breaks by the radial expulsion of ligaments from its rim and the n…
Growth of clogs in parallel microchannels
Alban Sauret, Katarzyna Somszor, Emmanuel Villermaux +1
During the transport of colloidal suspensions in microchannels, the deposition of particles can lead to the formation of clogs, typically at constrictions. Once a clog is formed in…
Controlling fracture cascades through twisting and quenching
Ronald H. Heisser, Vishal P. Patil, Norbert Stoop +1
Fracture limits the structural stability of macroscopic and microscopic materials, from beams and bones to microtubules and nanotubes. Despite recent progress, fracture control con…
Laser impact on a drop
Alexander L. Klein, Claas Willem Visser, Wilco Bouwhuis +6
The impact of a laser pulse on a highly absorbing liquid drop can lead to a violent response: the drop is accelerated, strongly deforms, and eventually fragments. Shock waves, the…
