Droplet mobility under shear flows is important in a wide range of engineering applications, e.g., fog collection, and self-cleaning surfaces. For structured surfaces to achieve superhydrophobicity, the removal of stains adhered within the…
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of capillary-driven flows at the nanoscale, using an original platform that combines nanoscale pores and microfluidic features. Our results show a coherent picture across multiple experiments…
Despite the viscosity of a fluid ranges over several orders of magnitudes and is extremely sensitive to microscopic structure and molecular interactions, it has been conjectured that its (opportunely normalized) minimum displays a universal…
Drainage in porous media can be broken down into two main mechanisms: a primary piston-like displacement of the interfaces through the bulk of pore bodies and throats, and a secondary slow flow through corners and films in the wake of the…
Nanoscale topographic features of solid surfaces can induce complex metastable behavior in colloidal and multiphase systems. Recent studies on single microparticle adsorption at liquid interfaces have reported a crossover from fast…
In stellar interiors shear flows play an important role in many physical processes. So far helioseismology provides only large-scale measurements, and so the small-scale dynamics remains insufficiently understood. To draw a connection…
Shear induced drainage of a foamy yield stress fluid is investigated using MRI techniques. Whereas the yield stress of the interstitial fluid stabilizes the system at rest, a fast drainage is observed when a horizontal shear is imposed. It…
Using a dynamical density functional theory we analyze the density profile of a colloidal liquid near a wall under shear flow. Due to the symmetries of the system considered, the naive application of dynamical density functional theory does…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of a compressible Lennard-Jones fluid in simple shear flow in a two-dimensional nanochannel. The system is equilibrated in the fluid phase close to the triple point at which gas,…
We employ a multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to study droplet dynamics in shear flow. With an extensive range of Reynolds number, capillary number, wall confinement, and density/viscosity ratio between the droplet…
Film flow through networks of corners and capillary bridges can establish connections between seemingly isolated clusters during drainage in porous media. Coupled with drainage through the bulk of pores and throats, the flow through these…
This paper deals with flow-induced shape transitions of elastic capsules. The state of the art concerning both theory and experiments is briefly reviewed starting with dynamically induced small deformation of initially spherical capsules…
We demonstrate that Multi-Body Dissipative Particle Dynamics (MDPD) can be used as an efficient computational tool for the investigation of nanoscale capillary impregnation of confined geometries. As an essential prerequisite, a novel model…
Capillary invasion of a liquid into an empty tube, which is called capillary rise when the tube axis is in the vertical direction, is one of the fundamental phenomena representing capillary effects. Usually, the tube is actually filled with…
The shear misfit model for the highly viscous flow is based upon a theoretical prediction for its terminal stage in terms of irreversible Eshelby relaxations in the five-dimensional shear space. The model is shown to predict a small…
Selective withdrawal extracts only a single phase from a stratified multi-layer system. Entrainment occurs when a critical condition draws up the static layer which is not being withdrawn. Existing studies provide robust scalings within…
Liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) are a promising technique for reducing friction, fouling and icing in both laminar and turbulent flows. Previous work has demonstrated that these surfaces are susceptible to shear-driven drainage. Here, we…
We use novel, fast 4D Synchrotron X-ray imaging with large field-of-view to reveal pore- and macro-scale drainage dynamics during gas-brine flow through a layered sandstone rock sample. We show that a single centimetre-scale layer, similar…
This article discusses the way the standard description of capillary filling dynamics has to be modified to account for liquid/solid slip in nanometric pores. It focuses in particular on the case of a large slip length compared to the pore…
We investigate long-range correlations (LRCs) induced by shear flow using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We observe the LRCs by comparing the MD results with the linearized fluctuating hydrodynamics (LFH). We find that the MD…
