In this work a continuum model for high frequency poroelastic longitudinal waves in hydrogels is presented. A viscoelastic force describing the interaction between the polymer network and the bounded water present in such materials is…
The benefits of ultrasound are its ease-of-use and its ability to precisely deliver energy in opaque and complex media. However, most materials responsive to ultrasound show a weak response, requiring the use of high powers, which are…
We present three-dimensional measurements of size-dependent acoustophoretic motion of microparticles with diameters from 4.8 um down to 0.5 um suspended in either homogeneous or inhomogeneous fluids inside a glass-silicon microchannel and…
In an ultrasonic field the region around a solid particle experiences small, localised velocity, pressure, and thermal fluctuations that decay rapidly over short length scales. Herein, we investigate the overlap of the rapidly decaying…
When ultrasonic wave is irradiated on materials, a small static stress is required to get materials yielding and flowing. This is called acoustic softening effect, also known as Blaha effect for a long time. In the past, this effect was…
Numerous investigations have demonstrated that standing acoustic waves can trap particles that range in size from microns to millimeters. Powerful tweezers may trap clusters of particles rather than single ones because their trapping radius…
We calculate the acoustic radiation force from an ultrasound wave on a compressible, spherical particle suspended in a viscous fluid. Using Prandtl--Schlichting boundary-layer theory, we include the kinematic viscosity of the solvent and…
While the ultrasound and cavitation based therapies have mushroomed over the years, there is a lack of online monitoring the cavitation bubble dynamics in biological tissue. {\color{black}Here we demonstrate that with ultrasonic plane wave…
Cavitation has historically been related to parameters measured at equilibrium, such as vapor pressure and surface tension. However, nucleation might occur when the liquid is metastable, especially for fast phenomena such as cavitation…
Adsorption of water vapor in nanoporous carbons is rather complex due to an interplay between the pore structure and surface chemistry of these materials. Deciphering the mechanism of adsorption requires the knowledge of the spatial…
Cavitation, the formation of vapor bubbles in metastable liquids, is highly sensitive to nanoscale surface defects. Using molecular dynamics simulations and classical nucleation theory, we show that pure water confined within defect-free…
Acoustic streaming is an ubiquitous phenomenon resulting from time-averaged nonlinear dynamics in oscillating fluids. In this theoretical study, we show that acoustic streaming can be suppressed by two orders of magnitude in major regions…
Nanopores are both a tool to study single-molecule biophysics and nanoscale ion transport, but also a promising material for desalination or osmotic power generation. Understanding the physics underlying ion transport through nano-sized…
The velocity relaxation of an impulsively forced spherical particle in a fluid confined by two parallel plane walls is studied using a direct numerical simulation approach. During the relaxation process, the momentum of the particle is…
The forced intrusion of water in hydrophobic nanoporous pulverulent material is of interest for quick storage of energy. With nanometric pores the energy storage capacity is controlled by interfacial phenomena. With subnanometric pores, we…
Focused ultrasound stimulated microbubbles have been shown to be capable of inducing blood flow shutdown and necrosis in a range of tissue types in an approach termed antivascular ultrasound or mechanical ablation. In oncology, this…
We present a theoretical analysis of the acoustic radiation force on a single small particle, either a thermoviscous fluid droplet or a thermoelastic solid particle, suspended in a viscous and heat-conducting fluid medium. Our analysis…
As a novel stimulus, we used high-frequency ultrasonic waves to provide the required energy for breaking hydrogen bonds between Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and water molecules while the solution temperature maintains below the…
Plasmonic vapour nanobubbles are currently considered for a wide variety of applications ranging from solar energy harvesting and photoacoustic imaging to nanoparticle-assisted cancer therapy. Yet, due their small size and unstable nature,…
Water plays a key role in biological membrane transport. In ion channels and water-conducting pores (aquaporins), one dimensional confinement in conjunction with strong surface effects changes the physical behavior of water. In molecular…
