Experimental observations of droplet size sustained oscillations are reported in a two-phase flow between a lamellar and a sponge phase. Under shear flow, this system presents two different steady states made of monodisperse multilamellar…
One of the fundamental ways of representing a droplet shape is through its Rayleigh-mode decomposition, in which each mode corresponds to a distinct surface-energy content. The influence of these modes on free oscillation dynamics has been…
Manipulation of micro/nano particles has been well studied and demonstrated by optical, electromagnetic, and acoustic approaches, or their combinations. Manipulation of internal structure of droplet/particle is rarely explored and remains…
The deformation of a viscous liquid droplet suspended in another liquid and subject to an applied electric field is a classic multiphase flow problem best described by the Melcher-Taylor leaky dielectric model. The main assumption of the…
Contrary to their capillary resonances (Rayleigh, 1879) and their optical resonances (Ashkin, 1977), droplets acoustical resonances were rarely considered. Here we experimentally excite, for the first time, the acoustical resonances of a…
Droplet-fiber interactions, prevalent in nature and widely applied across various engineering fields, have garnered significant research interest. Many works have focused on the interactions between droplets and single or two fibers.…
Recently, the phenomena of streaming suppression and relocation of inhomogeneous miscible fluids under acoustic fields were explained using the hypothesis on mean Eulerian pressure. In this letter, we show that this hypothesis is unsound…
We investigate the electrohydrodynamics of an initially spherical droplet under the influence of an external alternating electric field by conducting axisymmetric numerical simulations using a charge-conservative volume-of-fluid based…
Bag breakup of drops has been a subject of interest for almost over a century. Several issues such as theoretical estimation of the regime boundary marking the onset of such breakup, bag growth rates, drop size distribution, and the effect…
A transient analysis to quantify droplet deformation under DC electric fields is presented. The full Taylor-Melcher leaky dielectric model is employed where the charge relaxation time is considered to be finite. The droplet is assumed to be…
Motivated by recent experiments on biomimetic membranes exposed to several aqueous phases, we theoretically study the morphology of a membrane in contact with a liquid droplet formed via aqueous phase separation. We concentrate on membranes…
The theory of acoustic wave scattering by many small bodies is developed for bodies with impedance boundary condition. It is shown that if one embeds many small particles in a bounded domain, filled with a known material, then one can…
We derive general analytical expressions for the time-averaged acoustic radiation force on a small spherical particle suspended in a fluid and located in an axisymmetric incident acoustic wave. We treat the cases of the particle being…
The behavior of a microdrop of dielectric liquid suspended in a magnetic fluid and exposed to the action of electric and magnetic fields is studied experimentally. With increasing electric field, the deformation of droplets into oblate…
The breakup pathway of the Rayleigh fission process observed experimentally using high-speed imaging of a charged drop levitated in an AC quadrupole trap is shown to undergo asymmetric breakup by ejecting a jet in the upward direction…
Long-living coupled transverse and longitudinal phonon modes are explored in dense and regular arrangements of flat microfluidic droplets. The collective oscillations are driven by hydrodynamic interactions between the confined droplets and…
Liquid droplets hanging from solid surfaces are commonplace, but their physics is complex. Examples include dew or raindrops hanging onto wires or droplets accumulating onto a cover placed over warm food or windshields. In these scenarios,…
In a set of experiments, Couder et. al. demonstrate that an oscillating fluid bed may propagate a bouncing droplet through the guidance of the surface waves. We present a dynamical systems model, in the form of an iterative map, for a…
In the drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet system, deformation process and the direct relations between the droplet motions and the liquid properties have been seldom investigated, although they are very critical for the printing accuracy. In this…
The acoustic fields and streaming in a confined fluid depend strongly on the acoustic boundary layer forming near the wall. The width of this layer is typically much smaller than the bulk length scale set by the geometry or the acoustic…
