This fluid dynamics video demonstrates the merger of long vortex filaments is shown experimentally. Two counter-rotating vortices are generated using in a tank with very high aspect ratio. PIV demonstrates the merger of the vortices within…
Using molecular dynamics simulation with an angle-dependent Lennard-Jones potential, we study orientational glass with quadrupolar symmetry in mixtures of elliptic particles and circular impurities in two dimensions. With a mild aspect…
Isotopically layered amorphous solid water films were used to measure the diffusivity of deeply supercooled liquid water near the glass transition. The films, composed of separate layers of oxygen 16 and oxygen 18 labeled water, were grown…
We have measured the critical velocity v_c at which 3He-A in a rotating cylinder becomes unstable against the formation of quantized vortex lines with continuous (singularity-free) core structure. We find that v_c is distributed between a…
We study theoretically and numerically spatial distribution and collision rate of droplets that sediment in homogeneous isotropic Navier-Stokes turbulence. It is assumed that typical turbulent accelerations of fluid particles are much…
Understand and predict the dynamics of dispersed micro-objects in microfluidics is crucial in numerous natural, industrial and technological situations. In this paper, we experimentally characterized the equilibrium velocity $V$ and lateral…
Theoretical models of the ionization state in protoplanetary disks suggest the existence of large areas with low ionization and weak coupling between the gas and magnetic fields. In this regime hydrodynamical instabilities may become…
In this study we present an interferometric technique based on multiple wavelengths to capture the transient free surface contour of nanoliter drops spreading on a wettable surface, in particular close to the three-phase contact line.…
Droplets at the air-liquid interface of immiscible liquids usually form partially-submerged lens shapes (e.g. water on oil). In addition to this structure, we showed that droplets released from critical heights above the target liquid can…
We report high-resolution measurements of three-dimensional (3D) turbulence in a rapidly rotating fluid. By decomposing the velocity field into a vertically averaged component and a three-dimensional residual, we show that each dominates…
Many planets orbit within an AU of their stars, raising questions about their origins. Particularly puzzling are the planets found near the silicate sublimation front. We investigate conditions near the front in the protostellar disk around…
Fluid mixing usually involves the interplay between advection and diffusion, which together cause any initial distribution of passive scalar to homogenize and ultimately reach a uniform state. However, this scenario only holds when the…
The dispersed phase in turbulence can vary from almost inviscid fluid to highly viscous fluid. By changing the viscosity of the dispersed droplet phase, we experimentally investigate how the deformability of dispersed droplets affects the…
We study the critical droplet for a close-to-equilibrium Widom-Rowlinson model of interacting particles, represented by disks of radius $1$, in the two-dimensional plane at low temperature. The critical droplet is the set of macroscopic…
This work is devoted to a theoretical analysis of mass frequency response to pressure oscillations of a spray of repetitively injected drops into a combustion chamber. A single stationary spherical droplet continuously fed with the same…
We report on an experimental investigation of the tumbling of microrods in the shear flow of a microchannel (40 x 2.5 x 0.4 mm). The rods are 20 to 30 microns long and their diameters are of the order of 1 micron. Images of the…
In this work, three different particle sizes: the static radius $R_{s}$, hydrodynamic radius $R_{h}$ and apparent hydrodynamic radius $ R_{h,app}$ obtained using the light scattering technique, are investigated for dilute poly-disperse…
This fluid dynamics video submitted to the Gallery of Fluid motion shows a turbulent boundary layer developing under a 5 metre-long flat plate towed through water. A stationary imaging system provides a unique view of the developing…
Liquid water and vitreous B$_2$O$_3$ are the endpoints of a continuous range of random networks in which hydrogen bonds gradually replace covalent bonds. Previous work has shown that glasses can be obtained by quenching in the range $x \le$…
A molecular dynamics simulation of water confined in a silica pore is performed in order to compare it with recent experimental results on water confined in porous Vycor glass at room temperature. A cylindrical pore of 40 A is created…
