We consider the motion of incompressible viscous fluid in a rectangle, imposing the periodicity condition in one direction and the no-slip boundary condition in the other. Assuming that the flow is subject to an external random force, white…
Experimental mean flows are commonly used to study wall-bounded turbulence. However, these measurements are often unable to resolve the near-wall region and thus introduce ambiguity in the velocity closest to the wall. This poses a source…
When electrons flow as a viscous fluid in anisotropic metals, the reduced symmetry can lead to exotic viscosity tensors with many additional, nonstandard components. We present a viscometry technique that can, in principle, measure the…
We experimentally investigated the splashing of dense suspension droplets impacting a solid surface, extending prior work to the regime where the viscosity of the suspending liquid becomes a significant parameter. The overall behavior can…
In a cylindrical tube filled with incompressible fluid, the variable parameter method is applied to solve the vorticity motion equation, and the obtained results are substituted into the Poisson equation satisfied by the energy density. The…
We investigate the two-dimensional flow of a liquid foam around circular obstacles by measuring all the local fields necessary to describe this flow: velocity, pressure, bubble deformations and rearrangements. We show how our experimental…
A microscopic model able to describe simultaneously the dynamic viscosity and the self-diffusion coefficient of fluids is presented. This model is shown to emerge from the introduction of fractional calculus in a usual model of condensed…
A wide range of natural and engineered fluid flows exhibit spatial or temporal viscosity variations, spanning scales from microbial locomotion to planetary mantle convection. These variations introduce qualitatively new physical mechanisms…
Near-wall turbulent velocities in turbulent channel flows are decomposed into small-scale and large-scale components at $y^+<100$ by improving the predictive inner-outer model of Baars et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 1, 054406 (2016)], where…

Low Reynolds number swimmers frequently move near boundaries, such as spirochetes moving through porous tissues and sperm navigating the reproductive tract. Furthermore, these microorganisms must often navigate non-Newtonian fluids such as…

In view of the growing role of magnetic particles under magnetic field influence in medical and other applications, and perforce the bead chaining, it is important to understand more generally the chain dynamics. As is well known, in the…
Experimental and theoretical studies on millimetre-sized droplets suggest that at low Reynolds number the difference between the drag force on a circulating water droplet and that on a rigid sphere is very small (less than 1 %) (LeClair et…
In recent works, we proposed a theory of turbulence creation via the second coefficient of the virial expansion (i.e. the van der Waals effect). This theory relies, in part, on the empirically observed "equilibrated" behavior of pressure in…
