It has been widely accepted that nozzle exit over-pressure is responsible for thrust augmentation in starting jets over steady jets and a few pulsed jet propulsion systems have been developed based on this finding. However, no other study…
Improving the efficacy of nasal sprays by enhancing targeted drug delivery to intra-airway tissue sites prone to infection onset is hypothesized to be achievable through an optimization of key device and formulation parameters, such as the…
A new jet gas target system has been developed for the Felsenkeller 5 MV underground ion accelerator for nuclear astrophysics. It provides either a 1.5$\times10^{18}$ cm$^{-2}$ thick cylindrical jet or a 7$\times10^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$ thick…
Collisions between a stream of drops and a continuous jet of a different liquid are experimentally investigated. In contrast to previous studies, our work focuses on the effects of liquid miscibility and wettability on the collision…
The pursuit of targeted therapies capable of overcoming biological barriers, including the tenacious blood-brain barrier, has spurred the investigation into stimuli-responsive microagents. This approach could improve therapeutic efficacy,…
We investigate motion of a gas-liquid interface in a test tube induced by a large acceleration via impulsive force. We conduct simple experiments in which the tube partially filled with a liquid falls under gravity and impacts a rigid…
We conduct a series of experiments with a special interest on a penetration process and instabilities arisen on a liquid jet impinged to a liquid of the same kind flowing in a channel. The impinged jet penetrates into the flowing bath…
Because of its proximity and the large size of its black hole, M87 is one of the best targets for studying the launching mechanism of active galactic nucleus jets. Currently, magnetic fields are considered to be an essential factor in the…
We study the kinetics of infiltration in which contaminant particles, which are suspended in a flowing carrier fluid, penetrate a porous medium. The progress of the ``invader'' particles is impeded by their trapping on active ``defender''…
Current development of micro-scale technologies increases the interest to viscous flows with low and moderate Reynolds numbers. This work theoretically studies the entrainment flow of a viscous jet emerging from a plane wall into a half…
We study the breakup of a liquid jet a few nanometers in diameter, based on a stochastic differential equation derived recently by Moseler and Landman [Science {\bf 289}, 1165 (2000)]. In agreement with their simulations, we confirm that…
We investigate the effective friction encountered by an intruder moving through a sedimented medium which consists of transparent granular hydrogels immersed in water, and the resulting motion of the medium. We show that the effective…
A viscous, lubrication-like response can be triggered in a thin film of fluid squeezed between a rigid and flat surface and the tip of an incoming projectile. We develop a comprehensive theory for this viscous approach stage of…
An experiment is conducted to investigate the effects of chevrons on installed subsonic jet noise at a Mach number of 0.5 using the NASA SMC000 (round) and SMC006 (chevron) nozzles. The jets are of a diameter D=16.93 mm and placed near a…
Scalable technologies for the production of bio-compatible complex microfibers with controllable size and composition at competitively high throughput are urgently needed in order to meet the growing demand for such microstructures in…
Aerodynamic entrainment acts as the pioneer of saltation movement and is critical for understanding the development of aeolian phenomena. Here we performed direct numerical simulations on the aerodynamic lifting of surface particles on a…
We experimentally investigate the breakup dynamics of viscoelastic jets composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions, focusing on the dripping and Rayleigh regimes at low flow rates. By varying the CMC concentration, needle diameter…
Fluid-filled soft visuotactile sensors such as the Soft-bubbles alleviate key challenges for robust manipulation, as they enable reliable grasps along with the ability to obtain high-resolution sensory feedback on contact geometry and…
In the present study, detailed numerical simulations are performed to investigate the primary breakup of a gasoline surrogate jet under non-evaporative "Spray G" operating conditions. The Spray G injector and operating conditions, developed…
Accurate models of turbulent buoyant flows are essential for the design of nuclear reactors thermal hydraulics and passive safety systems. However, available models fail to fully capture the physics of turbulent mixing when buoyancy becomes…
