Bendocapillary Instability of Liquid in a Flexible-Walled Channel
Alexander T. Bradley, Ian J. Hewitt, Dominic Vella
We study the bendocapillary instability of a liquid droplet that part fills a flexible walled channel. Inspired by experiments in which a `weaving' pattern emerges as droplets of l…
Droplet trapping in bendotaxis caused by contact angle hysteresis
Alexander T. Bradley, Ian J. Hewitt, Dominic Vella
Passive droplet transport mechanisms, in which continuous external energy input is not required for motion, have received significant attention in recent years. Experimental studie…
Optimal control of diffuser shapes for confined turbulent shear flows
GP Benham, IJ Hewitt, CP Please +1
A model for the development of turbulent shear flows, created by non-uniform parallel flows in a confining channel, is used to identify the diffuser shape that maximises pressure r…
Turbulent shear layers in confining channels
GP Benham, AA Castrejon-Pita, IJ Hewitt +3
We present a simple model for the development of shear layers between parallel flows in confining channels. Such flows are important across a wide range of topics from diffusers, n…
