Unlike solids, the heat transfer in fluids can be greatly enhanced due to the presence of convection. Under gravity, an unevenly distributed temperature field results in differences in buoyancy, driving fluid motion that is seen in…
Bipartite charge fluctuations (BCF) have been introduced to provide an experimental indication of many-body entanglement. They have proved themselves to be a very efficient and useful tool to characterize quantum phase transitions in a…
As the cover of embryos and adult organisms, epithelial tissues are subjected to substantial mechanical forces in tissue morphogenesis. However, the finite deformation behaviors of epithelial tissues remain largely unexplored. This study…
The unique ability of a red blood cell to flow through extremely small microcapillaries depends on the viscoelastic properties of its membrane. Here, we study in vitro the response time upon flow startup exhibited by red blood cells…
Coronary anatomy governs local haemodynamics associated with atherosclerotic development, progression and ultimately adverse clinical outcomes. However, lack of large sample size studies and methods to link adverse haemodynamics to…
This study investigates the relationship between low-frequency shock-wave oscillations and buffet cells on the main wing of the NASA common research model. The flow conditions were set at a Mach number of 0.85, Reynolds number of 2.27…
In this paper we study nonlinear Helmholtz equations with sign-changing diffusion coefficients on bounded domains. The existence of an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions is established making use of weak T-coercivity theory. All…
We consider blood flow in a vessel with an attached capillary system. The latter is modeled with the help of a corresponding fractal graph whose edges are supplied with ordinary differential equations obtained by the dimension-reduction…
We present rheology experiments on dilute solutions of vesicles and red blood cells (RBC). Varying the viscosity ratio $\lambda$ between internal and external fluids, the microscopic dynamics of suspended objects can be qualitatively…
Mechanical properties of the cell are important biomarkers for probing its architectural changes caused by cellular processes and/or pathologies. The development of microfluidic technologies have enabled measuring cell mechanics at…
In the past the study of reaction-diffusion systems has greatly contributed to our understanding of the behavior of many-body systems far from equilibrium. In this paper we aim at characterizing the properties of diffusion limited reactions…
Understanding surface-driven transport is of paramount importance from the perspective of biological applications and the synthesis of microfluidic devices. In this work, we develop an analysis of a local inversion symmetry broken fluid…
The evolution of the interface propagation in a slowly rotating half-filled horizontal cylinder is studied using MRI. Initially, the cylinder contains two axially segregated bands of small and large particles with a sharp interface. The…
Realistic digital models of plant leaves are crucial to fluid dynamics simulations of droplets for optimising agrochemical spray technologies. The presence and nature of small features (on the order of 100$\mathrm{\mu m}$) such as ridges…
In this paper, the dynamic of inertial capsules into microfluidic bifurcations is studied. The fluid evolution is based on the solution of the BGK -- lattice Boltzmann scheme including a forcing term accounting for immersed geometries. The…
Red blood cells (RBCs) are the major component of blood and the flow of blood is dictated by that of RBCs. We employ vesicles, which consist of closed bilayer membranes enclosing a fluid, as a model system to study the behavior of RBCs…
Proliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR) is the most important ocular manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD), but understanding of its pathophysiology remains incomplete. Red blood cell (RBC) deformability has been identified as a…
We develop the theory of Hamiltonian Truncation (HT) to systematically study RG flows that require the renormalization of coupling constants. This is a necessary step towards making HT a fully general method for QFT calculations. We apply…
We report on experiments that consist in deforming a collection of monodisperse droplets produced by a microfluidic chip through a flow-focusing device. We show that a proper numerical modelling of the flow is necessary to access the stress…
We investigate the effect of inertial particles on Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using weakly nonlinear stability analysis. In the presence of nonlinear effects, we study the limiting value of growth of instabilities by deriving a cubic…
