Biofilms are antibiotic-resistant bacterial aggregates that grow on moist surfaces and can trigger hospital-acquired infections. They provide a classical example in biology where the dynamics of cellular communities may be observed and…

This study focuses on the modeling and dynamics of gravity-driven, axisymmetric thin liquid film flow along a conical surface. Spatial linear stability analysis is performed on the basis of a Benney-type equation derived for the present…

We consider the feasibility of large-scale free-standing thin liquid film experiment in the space environment as a new realization to study two-dimensional hydrodynamics. We identify material and environmental criteria necessary to avoid…

A classical model of fluid dynamics is considered which describes the shape evolution of a viscous liquid droplet on a homogeneous substrate. All equilibria are characterized and their stability is analyzed by a geometric reduction…

In this work, we propose a new model for flow through deformable porous media, where the solid material has two phases with distinct material properties. The two phases of the porous material follow a Cahn-Hilliard type evolution, with…

The van der Waals forces across a very thin liquid layer (nanofilm) in contact with a plane solid wall make the liquid nonhomogeneous. The dynamics of such flat liquid nanofilms is studied in isothermal case. The Navier-Stokes equations are…

Molecular dynamics simulations of two-dimensional soft Yukawa fluids are performed to analyze the effect that the range of interaction has on coexisting densities and line tension. The attractive one-component fluid and equimolar mixtures…

Bacterial attachment to a fluid interface can lead to the formation of a film with physicochemical properties that evolve with time. We study the time evolution of interface (micro)mechanics for interfaces between oil and bacterial…

A three fluid system describing the decay of the curvaton is studied by numerical and analytical means. We place constraints on the allowed interaction strengths between the fluids and initial curvaton density by requiring that the curvaton…

Many features of real granular fluids under rapid flow are exhibited as well by a system of smooth hard spheres with inelastic collisions. For such a system, it is tempting to apply standard methods of kinetic theory and hydrodynamics to…

Dynamics is central to living systems. In the last two decades, experiments have revealed that the dynamics in diverse biological systems - from intracellular cytoplasm to cellular and organismal aggregates - are remarkably similar to that…

Consider briefly the equations of fluid dynamics-they describe the enormous wealth of detail in all the interacting physical elements of a fluid flow-whereas in applications we want to deal with a description of just that which is…

Dense mixture of granules and liquid often shows a sever shear thickening and is called a dilatant fluid. We construct a fluid dynamics model for the dilatant fluid by introducing a phenomenological state variable for a local state of…

Nutrient limitation is one of the most common triggers of antibiotic tolerance and persistence. Here, we present two microfluidic setups to study how spatial and temporal variation in nutrient availability lead to increased survival of…

Capillary energy barriers have important consequences for immiscible fluid flow in porous media. We derive time-and-space averaging theory to account for non-equilibrium behavior and understand the role of athermal capillary fluctuations in…

We investigate the effect of cooperative interactions in an ensemble of microorganisms, modelled as self-propelled disk-like and rod-like particles, in a three-dimensional turbulent flow to show flocking as an emergent phenomenon. Building…

When a thin liquid film flows down on a vertical fiber, one can observe the complex and captivating interfacial dynamics of an unsteady flow. Such dynamics are applicable in various fluid experiments due to their high surface area-to-volume…

The flow of thin liquid films on inclined or vertical surfaces is one of immense importance, with applications spanning many types of process industries, due to the increased mass and heat transfer brought about by the presence of waves on…

We develop a global setting for modeling thermo-visco-elastic materials that satisfy the principles of thermodynamics and are properly invariant. This setting encompasses many known solid and fluid models, as well as new models with…

A limited mobility nonequilibrium solid-on-solid dynamical model for kinetic surface growth is introduced as a simple description for the morphological evolution of a growing interface under random vapor deposition and surface diffusion…
