Excitation of fountain and entrainment instabilities at the interface between two viscous fluids using a beam of laser light
Hamza Chraibi, Julien Petit, Régis Wunenburger +1
We report on two instabilities called viscous fountain and viscous entrainment triggered at the interface between two liquids by the action of bulk flows driven by a laser beam. Th…
Thermocapillary flows and interface deformations produced by localized laser heating in confined environment
Hamza Chraibi, Jean-Pierre Delville
The deformation of a fluid-fluid interface due to the thermocapillary stress induced by a continuous Gaussian laser wave is investigated analytically. We show that the direction of…
Eddies and interface deformations induced by optical streaming
Hamza Chraibi, Régis Wunenburger, Didier Lasseux +2
We study flows and interface deformations produced by the scattering of a laser beam propagating through non-absorbing turbid fluids. Light scattering produces a force density resu…
Stretching and squeezing of sessile dielectric drops by the optical radiation pressure
Hamza Chraibi, Didier Lasseux, Eric Arquis +2
We study numerically the deformation of sessile dielectric drops immersed in a second fluid when submitted to the optical radiation pressure of a continuous Gaussian laser wave. Bo…
Laser microfluidics: fluid actuation by light
Jean-Pierre Delville, Matthieu Robert De Saint-Vincent, Robert D. Schroll +6
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical ac…
Simulation of an optically induced asymmetric deformation of a liquid-liquid interface
Hamza Chraibi, Didier Lasseux, Eric Arquis +2
Deformations of liquid interfaces by the optical radiation pressure of a focused laser wave were generally expected to display similar behavior, whatever the direction of propagati…
