Many vesicles have a spherical resting shape and exposure to fluid flows induces an exchange between sub-optical area and visible (systematic) deformation, while the total area is conserved. The dynamics which controls the exchange between…
Due to the potential application of regulating droplet shape by external fields in microfluidic technology and micro devices, it becomes increasingly important to understand the shape formation of a droplet in the presence of an electric…
A spherical droplet is given an initial rotation in the streamwise direction and is impulsively accelerated by a uniform free stream. Numerical results for the deformation and dynamics of the droplet are obtained by utilising a finite…
The breakup and coalescence of drops are elementary topological transitions in interfacial flows. The breakup of a drop changes dramatically when polymers are added to the fluid. With the strong elongation of the polymers during the…
We study the transient dynamics of a viscous liquid contained in a narrow gap between a rigid surface and a parallel elastic plate. The elastic plate is deformed due to an externally applied time-varying pressure-field. We model the…
Navier-Stokes turbulence subject to solid-body rotation is studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulations (DNS) of freely decaying and stationary flows. Setups characterized by different Rossby numbers are considered. In agreement…
A droplet that impacts onto a solid substrate deforms in a complex dynamics. To extract the principal mechanisms that dominate this dynamics we deploy numerical simulations based on the phase field method. Direct comparison with experiments…
The stability of thin liquid films on a surface depends on the excess free energy of the system involving various short-range and long-range interactions. In an unstable condition, thin liquid films may dewet into multiple small-sized…
This study investigates the coupled deformation and flow behavior of thin, hyper-elastic, porous membranes subjected to pressure loading. Using bulge test experiments, optical deformation measurements, and flow rate characterization, we…
We investigate the interactions between two drops in a heated environment and analyze the effect of evaporation on bouncing, coalescence and reflexive separation phenomena. A reliable mass transfer model is incorporated in a coupled…
Evaporation of a deformable droplet under convection is investigated and the performance of the classical and Abramzon-Sirignano (A-S) models is evaluated. Using the Immersed Boundary/Front-Tracking (IB/FT) method, interface-resolved…
Drop coalescence is central to diverse processes involving dispersions of drops in industrial, engineering and scientific realms. During coalescence, two drops first touch and then merge as the liquid neck connecting them grows from…
We investigate the motion of a spherical drop in a general quadratic flow acted upon by an arbitrarily oriented externally applied uniform electric field. The drop and media are considered to be leaky dielectrics. The flow field affects the…
Traditionally, the deformation of continuum is divided into elastic, plastic, and flow. For a large deformation with cracking, they are combined together. So, for complicated deformation, a formulation to express the evolution of…
Impact of single particle onto a rigid substrate leads to its deformation and fragmentation. The flow associated with the particle spreading on a solid substrate after impact is extremely complicated. In this theoretical study a simplified…
Accurate prediction of spray atomization process using an Euler-Lagrange (EL) approach is challenging because of high volume fraction of the liquid phase in dense regimes. This would in reality displace a remarkable portion of the gaseous…
The steady state motion of cylindrical droplets under the action of external body force is investigated both theoretically and via lattice Boltzmann simulation. As long as the shape-invariance of droplet is maintained, the droplet's…
We investigate bubble deformations in an homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow by means of direct numerical simulations of a single bubble in turbulence. We examine interface deformations by decomposing the local radius into the…
The effects of surfactant coating on a deformable viscous drop under the combined action of a shear flow and a uniform electric field, are investigated by solving the coupled equations of electrostatics, fluid flow and surfactant transport.…
The dynamics of a single elastoviscoplastic (EVP) drop immersed in plane shear flow of a Newtonian fluid is studied by 3D direct numerical simulations using a finite-difference and level-set method combined with the Saramito model for the…
