Fluid flow and spatiotemporal chaos in chemically active emulsions
Charu Datt, Jonathan Bauermann, Nazmi Burak Budanur +1
We study phase-separating fluid mixtures as they demix in the presence of chemical reactions that maintain them away from thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that in such chemically…
Viscoelastic wetting transition: beyond lubrication theory
Minkush Kansal, Charu Datt, Vincent Bertin +1
The dip-coating geometry, where a solid plate is withdrawn from or plunged into a liquid pool, offers a prototypical example of wetting flows involving contact-line motion. Such fl…
Viscoelastic wetting: Cox-Voinov theory with normal stress effects
Minkush Kansal, Vincent Bertin, Charu Datt +2
The classical Cox-Voinov theory of contact line motion provides a relation between the macroscopically observable contact angle, and the microscopic wetting angle as a function of…
A thin-film equation for a viscoelastic fluid, and its application to the Landau-Levich problem
Charu Datt, Minkush Kansal, Jacco H. Snoeijer
Thin-film flows of viscoelastic fluids are encountered in various industrial and biological settings. The understanding of thin viscous film flows in Newtonian fluids is very well…
When elasticity affects drop coalescence
Pim J. Dekker, Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes +3
The breakup and coalescence of drops are elementary topological transitions in interfacial flows. The breakup of a drop changes dramatically when polymers are added to the fluid. W…
Theory for the coalescence of viscous lenses
Walter Tewes, Michiel A. Hack, Charu Datt +2
Drop coalescence occurs through the rapid growth of a liquid bridge that connects the two drops. At early times after contact, the bridge dynamics is typically self-similar, with d…
