Bringing a rigid object into contact with a soft elastic tube causes the tube to conform to the surface of the object, resulting in contact lines. The curvature of the tube walls near these contact lines is often large and is typically…

Drag laws for particles in fluids are often expressed in terms of the undisturbed fluid velocity, defined as the fluid velocity a particle sees before the disturbance develops in the fluid. In two-way coupled point-particle simulations the…

Super hydrophobic surfaces have been the focus of research in the recent years.One of the reasons for this is the self cleaning property of these surfaces which emerges from the ability of the droplets to roll freely over them.However…
