Electrophoresis has been shown as a novel methodology to enhance heat conduction capabilities of nanocolloidal dispersions. A thoroughly designed experimental system has been envisaged to solely probe heat conduction across nanofluids by…
Materials with strongly-correlated electrons exhibit interesting phenomena such as metal-insulator transitions and high-temperature superconductivity. In stark contrast to ordinary metals, electron transport in these materials is thought to…
Application of a sufficiently strong electric field to an aqueous solution induces a phenomenon known as `electrohydraulic discharge'. The electric field causes the water to break down, generating either a corona (at lower field strengths)…
Capillary microflows of liquid crystal phases are central to material, biological and bio-inspired systems. Despite their fundamental and applied significance, a detailed understanding of the stationary behaviour of nematic liquid crystals…
A new type of disorder-driven electronic percolation transition is found for two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), based on a quantum cellular automaton model. This transition is shown to be accompanied with a metal-insulator transition, as…
We present a theory of the hydrodynamic forces in the drainage flow of an electrolyte between a sphere and a plane with charged surfaces. Our theory considers a thin electrolyte film which is at all times in local equilibrium across its…
The rate of melting of a solid and the rate of deformation of the resulting melt due to capillary forces are comparable in additive manufacturing applications. This dynamic structural change of a melting solid is extremely challenging to…
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift towards or away from the boundary, depending on the electric…
We examine the evaporation-induced coalescence of two droplets undergoing freezing by conducting numerical simulations employing the lubrication approximation. When two sessile drops undergo freezing in close vicinity over a substrate, they…
The dynamics of spherical particles driven along an interface between two immiscible fluids is investigated asymptotically. Under the assumptions of a pinned three-phase contact line and very different viscosities of the two fluids, a…
In capillary electrophoresis, sample ions migrate along a micro-capillary filled with a background electrolyte under the influence of an applied electric field. If the sample concentration is sufficiently high, the electrical conductivity…
The stability of a flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible fluid in a channel with an imposed uniform wall-normal magnetic field and electrically insulating walls is studied using linear stability analysis and direct numerical…
Linear temperature dependence of transport coefficients in metals is often ascribed to non-Fermi-liquid physics. Here we demonstrate the $T$-linear behavior of nonlocal conductivity in a clean 2D electron fluid, where carrier collisions…
Thermocapillary convection is particularly effective for the control of thin liquid film topography or for the actuation of microparticles at the liquid-air interface. Experiments with water are challenging, however, as its interface is…
The displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous immiscible fluid in confined geometries is a fundamental problem in multiphase flows. Recent experiments have shown that such fluid-fluid displacement in micro-capillary tubes can…
The microchannel corner is a common inherent component of most planar microfluidic systems and thus its influence on the channel flow is of significant interest. Application of an alternating current electric field enables quantification of…
Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann simulations with the "Shan-Chen" model, we explore the influence of thermocapillarity on the break-up properties of fluid threads in a microfluidic T-junction, where a dispersed phase is injected…
There is a class of electronic liquids in dimensions greater than one, which show all essential properties of one dimensional electronic physics. These are topological liquids - correlated electronic systems with a spectral flow.…
A strong low-temperature enhancement of the tunneling conductance between graphene bilayers has been reported recently, and interpreted as a signature of equilibrium electron-hole pairing, first predicted in bilayers more than forty years…
A rigid object moving in a viscous fluid and in close proximity with an elastic wall experiences self-generated elastohydrodynamic interactions. This has been the subject of an intense research activity, with a recent and growing attention…
