We investigate two-dimensional liquid bridges trapped between pairs of identical horizontal cylinders. The cylinders support forces due to surface tension and hydrostatic pressure which balance the weight of the liquid. The shape of the…
Fluid flow through bimodal porous media, characterized by a distinct separation in pore size distribution, is critical in various scientific and engineering applications, including groundwater management, oil and gas production, and carbon…
To achieve efficient liquid collection, a surface must regulate incoming liquid accumulation with outgoing liquid transport. Often, this can be proposed to be achieved by functionalizing surfaces with non-wetting characteristics. Yet, there…
A filtration procedure was developed to measure the reversibility of fouling during cross-flow filtration based on the square wave of applied pressure. The principle of this method, the apparatus required, and the associated mathematical…
Directional and self-propelled flow in open channels has a variety of applications, including microfluidic and medical devices, industrial filtration processes, fog-harvesting and condensing apparatuses. Here, we present versatile…
The influence of geometrical parameters and fluid properties on the critical pressure of permeation of an oil micro-droplet into a slotted pore is studied numerically by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. We consider a long slotted pore,…
The statistical-mechanical study of the equilibrium properties of fluids, starting from the knowledge of the interparticle interaction potential, is essential to understand the role that microscopic interaction between individual particles…
Internal phoretic flows due to the interactions of solid boundaries with local chemical gradients may be created using chemical patterning. Alternatively, we demonstrate here that internal flows might also be induced by geometric…
Consider a surface, enclosing a fixed volume, described by a free-energy depending only on the local geometry; for example, the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvature describes a fluid membrane. The stress at any point on…
Liquids flowing against solid surfaces experience friction. While solid friction is familiar to anyone with a sense of touch, liquid friction is much more exotic. At macroscopic scales indeed, the assumption of inifinite friction, i.e. that…
The thermodynamic behavior of a fluid near a vapor-liquid and, hence, asymmetric critical point is discussed within a general ``complete'' scaling theory incorporating pressure mixing in the nonlinear scaling fields as well as corrections…
The rectification of electro-osmotic flows is important in micro/nano fluidics applications such as micro-pumps and energy conversion devices. Here, we propose a simple electro-osmotic diode in which colloidal particles are contained…
The classical Helmholtz problem is applied for modelling and numerical investigation of inviscid cusp-ended separated flow around circular cylinder. Two coordinate systems are used: polar for initial calculations and parabolic as…
Flow through porous, elastically deforming media is present in a variety of natural contexts ranging from large-scale geophysics to cellular biology. In the case of incompressible constituents, the porefluid pressure acts as a Lagrange…
A fluid flow in a multiply connected domain generated by an arbitrary number of point vortices is considered. A stream function for this flow is constructed as a limit of a certain functional sequence using the method of images. The…
We study both diffuse and sharp liquid-vapor interfaces. The equilibrium equation of fluids is derived by using the principle of virtual work in a domain including the interfaces. For diffuse interfaces, the surface tension coefficient…
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a popular technique for size-based separation of particles. One of the challenges in design of DLD chips is to eliminate the disturbance of fluid flow patterns caused by channel sidewalls…
Liquid diodes are surface structures that facilitate the flow of liquids in a specific direction. When these structures are within the capillary regime, they promote liquid transport without the need for external forces. In nature, they are…
We study by molecular dynamics simulations the thermodynamics of an anomalous fluid confined in a slit pore with one wall structured and attractive and another unstructured and repulsive. We find that the phase diagram of the homogeneous…
Low Reynolds number flow near a poroelastic interface can be found across scales in biological and engineered systems. We develop a 2D model of peristaltic flow confined under a poroelastic solid. In this geometry, the lower boundary is an…
