An interferometric method is implemented in order to accurately assess the thermal fluctuations of a micro-cantilever sensor in liquid environments. The power spectrum density (PSD) of thermal fluctuations together with Sader's model of the…
Inspired by the observation of intricate and beautifully dynamic patterns generated by food coloring on clean glass slides, we have investigated the behavior of propylene glycol and water droplets on high energy surfaces. In this fluid…
We present a microfluidic method leading to accurate measurements of the mutual diffusion coefficient of a liquid binary mixture over the whole solute concentration range in a single experiment. This method fully exploits solvent…
The expected universal dynamics associated with the initial stage of droplet coalescence are difficult to study visually due to the rapid motion of the liquid and the awkward viewing geometry. Here we employ an electrical method to study…
Fascinating in art and science, the ability to float is also captivating and relevant in practical applications, such as Penning and ion traps that are fundamental to quantum computing. In this work, we first reproduce the classic water…
The formation of a free-vortex has been captured by using a high-speed camera (Y3, IDTVision, Inc.). The experiment is conducted using a rectangular tank, which is filled with tap water. The water free surface is open to atmospheric…
In this video, Ray-tracing data visualization technique was used to obtain realistic and detailed flow motions during droplet collision. The differences of collision outcome between Newtonian and non-Newtonian were compared. Various types…
We study the dynamics of small droplets of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone oil on a vertical, perfectly-wetting, silicon wafer. Interference videomicroscopy allows us to capture the dynamics of these droplets. We use droplets with a…
Using an electrical method and high-speed imaging we probe drop coalescence down to 10 ns after the drops touch. By varying the liquid viscosity over two decades, we conclude that at sufficiently low approach velocity where deformation is…
Liquid drop impact and penetration into a granular layer are investigated with diverse liquids and granular materials. We use various size of SiC abrasives and glass beads as a target granular material. We also employ ethanol and glycerol…
The viscosity of nucleonic matter is studied both classically and in a quantum mechanical description. The collisions between particles are modeled as hard sphere scattering as a baseline for comparison and as scattering from an attractive…
We consider liquid suspensions with dispersed nanoparticles. Using two-points Pade approximants and combining results of both hydrodynamic and molecular dynamics methods, we obtain the effective viscosity for any diameters of nanoparticles
The aim of this paper is to present a modeling for the rheological behavior of simple liquids as a function of the amplitude of the imposed shear stress or strain. The elastic mode theory (Ref. 6) is first generalized to take into account…
The flow in an evaporating glycerol-water binary sub-millimeter droplet with Bond number Bo $\ll$ 1 is studied both experimentally and numerically. First, we measure the flow fields near the substrate by micro-PIV for both sessile and…
Using experiments and numerical simulations, we investigate the spontaneous spreading of droplets of aqueous glycerol (Newtonian) and aqueous polymer (shear-thinning) solutions on smooth surfaces. We find that in the first millisecond the…
Liquid drops start spreading directly after brought into contact with a partial wetting substrate. Although this phenomenon involves a three-phase contact line, the spreading motion is very fast. We study the initial spreading dynamics of…
We present a methodology that combines Mach-Zehnder interferometry, a custom relative humidity (RH) controlled chamber, and a confined two-dimensional droplet geometry to enable precise investigations of drying of complex fluids and the…
The paper presents results of numerical experiments performed to evaluate the effective viscosity of a fluid-proppant mixture, used in hydraulic fracturing. The results, obtained by two complimenting methods (the particle dynamics and the…
We report on the direct measurements of fluid flow vorticity using a spatially shaped beam with a superposition of Laguerre-Gaussian modes that reports on the rotational Doppler shift from microparticles intersecting the beam focus.…
The wetting behavior of drops on natural and industrial surfaces is determined by the advancing and receding contact angles. They are commonly measured by the sessile drop technique, also called goniometry, which doses liquid through a…
