Droplets moving in a microfluidic loop device exhibit both periodic and chaotic behaviors based on the inlet droplet spacing. We propose that the periodic behavior is an outcome of a dispersed phase conservation principle. This conservation…
Chaos often represents a severe obstacle for the set-up of many-body experiments, e.g., in fusion plasmas or turbulent flows. We propose a strategy to control chaotic diffusion in conservative systems. The core of our approach is a small…
