The goal of this document is describe the multiphase transfer processes describing the bubble dynamics of a water electrolyzer. The motivation is to describe the dilute-dispersed mass transfer within and Alkaline Water Electrolyzer. Special…
The outcome of this paper was a shape of the interaction of two oscillating bubbles. This was done to express the secondary Bjerknes force using the Maxwell equations for a liquid. These subsequent equations were written for the quantities…
A liquid foam in contact with a solid surface forms a two-dimensional foam on the surface. We derive the equilibrium equations for this 2D foam when the solid surface is curved and smooth, generalising the standard case of flat Hele Shaw…
The present research proposes a new memory-efficient method using diffusion models to inject turbulent inflow conditions into Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) for various flow problems. A guided diffusion…
We generalize to three dimensions (3D) a recently developed improved multi-component pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann method and analyze its applicability to simulate flows through realistic porous media. The model is validated and…
We study diamagnetically levitated foams with widely different liquid fractions. Due to the levitation, drainage is effectively suppressed and the dynamics is driven by the coarsening of the foam bubbles. For dry foams, the bubble size…
Previously, it has been shown that the direct correlation function for a Lennard-Jones fluid could be modeled by a sum of that for hard-spheres, a mean-field tail and a simple linear correction in the core region constructed so as to…
A sponge subjected to an increase of the outside fluid pressure expands its volume but nearly mantains its true density and thus gives way to an increase of the interstitial volume. This behaviour, not yet properly described by solid-fluid…
There is a growing consensus that shear thickening of concentrated dispersions is driven by the formation of stress-induced frictional contacts. The Wyart-Cates (WC) model of this phenomenon, in which the microphysics of the contacts enters…
We describe the extension of a "viscous froth" model to the dynamics of a wet foam in a Hele-Shaw cell. The two-dimensional model includes the friction experienced by the soap films as they are dragged along the cell walls, while retaining…
Polydisperse gas-solid flows, which is notoriously difficult to model due to the complex gas-particle and particle-particle interactions, are widely encountered in industry. In this article, a refined kinetic theory for polydisperse flow is…
We construct a coarse-grained effective two-dimensional (2d) hydrodynamic theory as a theoretical model for a coupled system of a fluid membrane and a thin layer of a polar active fluid in its ordered state that is anchored to the membrane.…
We derive an effective medium theory for acoustic wave propagation in bubbly fluid near Minnaert resonant frequency. We start with a multiple scattering formulation of the scattering problem of an incident wave by a large number of…
Based on the notion of a construction process consisting of the stepwise addition of particles to the pure fluid, a discrete model for the apparent viscosity as well as for the maximum packing fraction of polydisperse suspensions of…
In this work, we generalize the two-fluid theory to a superfluid system with anisotropic effective masses along different principal axis directions. As a specific example, such a theory can be applied to spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein…
We investigate the elastic properties of small droplets under compression. The compression of a bubble by two parallel plates is solved exactly and it is shown that a lowest-order expansion of the solution reduces to a form similar to that…
We re-analyse experiments on a foam sheared in a two-dimensional Couette geometry [Debregeas <i>et al.</i>, Phys. Rev. Lett. <b>87</b>, 178305 (2001)]. We characterise the bubble deformation by a texture tensor. Our measurements are local…
In this paper we propose and validate a multiscale model for the description of particle diffusion in presence of trapping boundaries. We start from a drift-diffusion equation in which the drift term describes the effect of bubble traps,…
We present a large-amplitude existence theory for two-dimensional solitary waves propagating through a two layer body of water. The domain of the fluid is bounded below by an impermeable flat ocean floor and above by a free boundary at…
