A deep understanding of the physical interactions between nanoparticles and target cell membranes is important in designing efficient nanocarrier systems for drug delivery applications. Here, we present a theoretical framework to describe…
We compare numerical and experimental results exploring the behaviour of liquid drops moving across a surface patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. A lattice Boltzmann algorithm is used to solve the hydrodynamic equations of…
Liquid drops on soft solids generate strong deformations below the contact line, resulting from a balance of capillary and elastic forces. The movement of these drops may cause strong, potentially singular dissipation in the soft solid.…
We study the time evolution of a sessile liquid droplet, which is initially put onto a solid surface in a non-equilibrium configuration and then evolves towards its equilibrium shape. We adapt here the standard approach to the dynamics of…
In this study we consider the problem of the interface motion under the capillary-gravity and an external electric forces. The infinitely deep fluid layer is assumed to be viscous, perfectly conducting and the flow to be incompressible. The…
This research introduces a new drop fluidics, which uses a deformable and stretchable elastomeric film as the platform, instead of the commonly used rigid supports. Such a soft film impregnated with magnetic particles can be modulated with…
The effect of an axial temperature gradient on the flow profile and the induced streaming potential of a pressure-driven symmetric electrolyte in a slit channel is investigated. Based on the non-isothermal Nernst-Planck equations as well as…
We study the effect of surfactant on the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform DC electric field using a combination of numerical simulations based on a boundary integral formulation and an analytical theory assuming small…
For over a hundred years, electron transport in conductive materials has been primarily described by the Drude model, which assumes that current flow is impeded primarily by momentum-relaxing collisions between electrons and extrinsic…
In a theoretical analysis, we generalise well known asymptotic results to obtain expressions for the rate of transfer of material from the surface of an arbitrary, rigid particle suspended in an open pathline flow at large P\'eclet number,…
Transport properties of a charged droplet of weakly interacting particles in an external field are investigated. A non-equilibrium distribution function which describes a process of the droplet transverse evolution with constant entropy in…
The article reports the domineering governing role played by the direction of electric and magnetic fields on the internal advection pattern and strength within salt solution pendant droplets. Literature shows that solutal advection drives…
A recent article (Khair and Kabarowski; Phys. Rev. Fluids 5, 033702) has studied the cross-streamline migration of electrophoretic particles in unbounded shear flows with weak inertia or viscoelasticity. That work compares their results…
We investigate pump-driven droplet electrohydrodynamics with an emphasis on deformation, pinch-off, and recoalescence. A thermodynamically consistent phase-field framework is developed that couples Nernst--Planck--Poisson electrodiffusion…
We perform fully Eulerian numerical simulations of an initially spherical hyperelastic particle suspended in a Newtonian pressure-driven flow in a cylindrical straight pipe. We study the full particle migration and deformation for different…
The coupling of surfactant-laden droplet dynamics and electric fields plays an important role in liquid-handling technologies such as digital microfluidics. We develop an energetic variational framework for the coupled dynamics of two-phase…
The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on thick incompressible substrates. The problem is governed by three length scales: the size of the drop…
The overdamped dynamics of a charged particle driven by an uniform electric field through a random sequence of scatterers in one dimension is investigated. Analytic expressions of the mean velocity and of the velocity power spectrum are…
We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity, hydrodynamic flows, and the ever present thermal fluctuations leads to…
The problem of the movement of the drops in a continuous environment represents a fundamental step for the study of two phases flows. Their domains of application are enormous as: the combustion of the rooms of the machines thermal,…
