Particle suspensions, present in many natural and industrial settings, typically contain aggregates or other microstructures that can complicate macroscopic flow behaviors and damage processing equipment. Recent work found that applying…
Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects while the latter on applications. Here, we intend to…

We consider the construction of linear instability of parallel shear flows, which was developed by Zhiwu Lin (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 35(2), 2003). We give an alternative simple proof in Sobolev setting of the problem, which exposes the…

We analyze the stability of the coflow configuration. The experiments and the global stability analysis show that the emitted jet always destabilizes before the tapering conical meniscus. This implies that the parameter conditions at which…

A statistically stationary turbulence with a mean shear gradient is realized in a flow driven by suitable body forces. The flow domain is periodic in downstream and spanwise directions and bounded by stress free surfaces in the normal…
We illustrate an atomistic periodic two-dimensional stationary shear flow, $u_x = \langle \ \dot x \ \rangle = \dot \epsilon y$, using the simplest possible example, the periodic shear of just two particles ! We use a short-ranged…
