We analyze both theoretically and experimentally the breakup of a pendant water droplet loaded with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). The free surface minimum radius measured in the experiments is compared with that obtained from a numerical…
The breakup dynamics of viscous liquid bridges on solid surfaces is studied experimentally. It is found that the dynamics bears similarities to the breakup of free liquid bridges in the viscous regime. Nevertheless, the dynamics is…
Substrates which are chemically or topographically patterned induce a variety of liquid crystal textures. The response of the liquid crystal to competing surface orientations, typical of patterned substrates, is determined by the anisotropy…
In this work, we extend the analyses devoted to Newtonian viscous fluids previously reported by Ribe [Physical Review E 68, 036305 (2003)], by investigating shear thickening (dilatant) and shear thinning (pseudoplastic) effects on the…
Nutation triggered by external disturbances is an undesirable phenomenon for a spinning satellite. Passive decay in nutation angle must be achieved in such cases and benefits missions involving spin-stabilized satellites or mass-constrained…
Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann (LB) numerical simulations, we investigate the effects of viscoelasticity on the break-up of liquid threads in microfluidic cross-junctions, where droplets are formed by focusing a liquid thread of a…
We develop a perturbation theory to study the shape and the orientation of an initially spherical capsule of radius R with a viscosity contrast, a surface tension {\sigma} and a bending rigidity $\kappa$ in linear flows. The elastic…
The first stages of the path instability phenomenon known to affect the buoyancy-driven motion of gas bubbles rising in weakly or moderately viscous liquids are examined thanks to a recently developed numerical tool designed to assess the…
The break-up of a nanowire with an organic ligand shell into discrete droplets is analysed in terms of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability. Explicit account is taken of the effect of the organic ligand shell upon the energetics and kinetics of…
The pinch-off dynamics of a Newtonian liquid thread embedded in a viscoplastic medium is investigated using direct numerical simulations and theory. Thread breakup occurs below a nearly universal threshold set by the balance of capillary…
The structure and stability of the convective flow generated by a source located at the water surface containing an insoluble surfactant layer are experimentally investigated. Application of a few types of source, which differ in the force…
Liquid films of nanometric thickness are prone to spinodal dewetting driven by disjoining pressure, meaning that a non-wetting liquid film of homogeneous thickness in the range of tens of nanometers will spontaneously break into droplets.…
It is commonly accepted that the breakup criteria of drops or bubbles in turbulence is governed by surface tension and inertia. However, also {\it{buoyancy}} can play an important role at breakup. In order to better understand this role,…
The effects of elasticity on the break-up of liquid threads in microfluidic cross-junctions is investigated using numerical simulations based on the "lattice Boltzmann models" (LBM). Working at small Capillary numbers, we investigate the…
The Article demonstrates the spontaneous symmetry breaking of isotropic homogeneous elastic medium in form of transition from Euclidean to Riemann-Cartan internal geometry of medium. The deformation of elastic medium without defects is…
We study the dynamics of an elastic body whose shape and position evolve due to the gravitational forces exerted by a pointlike planet. The main result is that, if all the deformations of the satellite dissipate some energy, then under a…
In this study, we perform a numerical analysis of the instability of a ligament in shear flow and investigate the effects of air-liquid shear on the growth rate of the ligament interface, breakup time, and droplet diameter formed by the…
For a nonlinear system of coupled PDEs, that describes evolution of a viscous thin liquid sheet and takes account of surface tension at the free surface, we show exponential $(H^1,\,L^2)$ asymptotic decay to the flat profile of its…
Filamentary structures, or long and narrow streams of material, arise in many areas of astronomy. Here we investigate the stability of such filaments by performing an eigenmode analysis of adiabatic and polytropic fluid cylinders, which are…
Microfluidic systems are usually fabricated with soft materials that deform due to the fluid stresses. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the steady flow in shallow deformable microchannels have shown that the flow rate is a…
