Multi-fractal scaling in the transition to the dissipative regime for fully-developed compressible turbulence is considered. The multi-fractal power law scaling behavior breaks down for very small length scales thanks to viscous effects.…
We report on measurements of self-diffusion coefficients in discrete numerical simulations of steady, homogeneous, collisional shearing flows of nearly identical, frictional, inelastic spheres. We focus on a range of relatively high solid…
The dynamics of droplets on substrates has a strong impact on microfluidic systems ranging from commercially available lab-on-chip systems to state of the art developments in open microfluidics. Coalescence of micro and nano droplets on a…
The ballistic impact of various dense particle suspensions is of interest for the development of superior materials for personal protective equipment. The dynamic response of the fluids under impact of a fragment simulating projectile at…
We experimentally investigate the impact of a flat, horizontal disk onto a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid in thermal equilibrium with its vapor phase. We observe exceptionally high impact pressures deviating strongly from the inertial…
The onset of air entrainment by a smooth vertical liquid jet impacting a pool of the same liquid has been experimentally determined. The ranges of parameters covered complement those considered by Lin & Donnelly (1969). The influence of the…
We investigate the stabilization mechanisms of the invasion front in two-dimensional drainage displacement in porous media by using a network simulator. We focus on the process when the front stabilizes due to the viscous forces in the…
A 'splash' is usually heard when a solid body enters water at large velocity. This phenomena originates from the formation of an air cavity resulting from the complex transient dynamics of the free interface during the impact. The classical…
Transport of liquid mixtures through porous membranes is central to processes such as desalination, chemical separations and energy harvesting, with ultrathin membranes made from novel 2D nanomaterials showing exceptional promise. Here we…
Studies of random close packing of spheres have advanced our knowledge about the structure of systems such as liquids, glasses, emulsions, granular media, and amorphous solids. When these systems are confined their structural properties…
We propose an improved viscosity model accounting for experiments of emulsions of two immiscible liquids at arbitrary volume fractions and low shear rates. The model is based on a recursive-differential method formulated in terms of the…
We have applied small angle scattering in grazing incidence beam geometry on a time-of-flight neutron instrument. Due to the broad wavelength distribution provided for a specific incident beam angle the penetration depth of the neutron beam…
The dynamics of drop impact on a rigid surface -- omnipresent in nature and technology -- strongly depends on the droplet's velocity, its size, and its material properties. The main characteristics are the droplet's force exerted on the…
In quasi-two-dimensional experiments with photoelastic particles confined to an annular region, an intruder constrained to move in a circular path halfway between the annular walls experiences stick-slip dynamics. We discuss the response of…
We have established in a pilot study, that the spreading of liquids in sandy porous materials at low levels of saturation, typically less than ten percent of the available void space, has very distinctive features in comparison to that at…
Place a droplet of mineral oil on water and the oil will spread to cover the water surface in a thin film -- a phenomenon familiar to many, owing to the rainbow-faced puddles left behind leaking buses on rainy days. In this paper we study…
Compared to smooth surfaces, droplet spreading on porous surfaces is more complex and has relevance in many engineering applications. In this work, we investigate the infiltration dynamics of molten sand droplets on structured porous…
Experimental investigations were carried out to elucidate the role of surface wettability and inclination on the post impact dynamics of droplets. Maximum spreading diameter and spreading time were found to decrease with increasing…
The impact of droplets on an inclined falling liquid film is studied experimentally using high-speed imaging. The falling film is created on a flat substrate with controllable thicknesses and flow rates. Droplets with different sizes and…
We experimentally study the jamming of quasi-two-dimensional emulsions. Our experiments consist of oil-in-water emulsion droplets confined between two parallel plates. From the droplet outlines, we can determine the forces between every…
