We present numerical analyses of 2-D electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flows of a dielectric liquid between a wire electrode and two plate electrodes with a Poiseuille flow, using direct numerical simulation and global stability analysis. Both…
We have determined the response time of dilute electrorheological fluids (ER) in drag flow from the dynamic dielectric response. On the basis of a kinetic rate equation a new formula was derived to approximate the experimental…
We have studied the effect of an external DC electric field (~kV/mm) on the rheological properties of colloidal suspensions consisting of aggregates of laponite particles in a silicone oil. Microscopy observations show that under…
We observe electro-hydrodynamically driven turbulent flows at low Reynolds numbers in a two-fluid emulsion consisting of micron-scale droplets. In the presence of electric fields, the droplets produce interacting hydrodynamic flows which…
Shear thickening is a phenomenon of significant viscosity increase of colloidal suspensions. While electrorheological (ER) fluids can be turned into a solid-like material by applying an electric field, their shear strength is widely…
There is an ongoing debate concerning the best rheological model for liquid flows in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Due to the small contact area and high relative velocities of bounding solids, the lubricant experiences pressures in…
Using three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations, we investigate the erosion dynamics of a cohesive bed composed of wet spherical particles subjected to the shear flow of an overlying non-cohesive granular layer. Cohesion…
Multiphase shear flows often show banded structures that affect the global behavior of complex fluids e.g. in microdevices. Here we investigate numerically the banding of emulsions, i.e. the formation of regions of high and low volume…
We present a tunable, non-equilibrium oil-in-oil emulsion that serves as a model system for investigating the transition from controlled droplet deformation to multiscale flows reminiscent of turbulence. By utilizing a miscible mixture of…
The properties of suspensions of fine particles in dielectric liquid (electrorheological fluids) subjected to an electric field lead to a drastic change of the apparent viscosity of the fluid. For high applied fields (~ 3-5 kV/mm) the…
Erosion poses a great challenge in multi-phase mass flows as it drastically changes flow behavior and deposition pattern by dramatically increasing their masses, adversely affecting population and civil structures. There exists no…
In this work we study creep flow behavior of suspension of Polyaniline (PANI) particles in silicone oil under application of electric field. Suspension of PANI in silicone oil, a model electrorheological fluid, shows enhancement in elastic…
We report a systematic study of the dynamics of chain formation in electrorheological (ER) fluids using Brownian Dynamics simulations. The parameters of the system such as applied electric field, polarizability, dipole moment, friction…
The effect of a spatially uniform magnetic field on the shear rheology of a dilute emulsion of monodispersed ferrofluid droplets, immersed in a non-magnetizable immiscible fluid, is investigated using direct numerical simulations. The…
Under application of an electric field greater than a triggering electric field $E_c \sim 0.4$ kV/mm, suspensions obtained by dispersing particles of the synthetic clay fluoro-hectorite in a silicon oil, aggregate into chain- and/or…
Even though electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is a useful strategy in a wide array of biological and engineering processes with numerous droplet-manipulation applications, there is still a lack of complete theoretical interpretation on…
We numerically study the dynamic behavior under a symmetric shear flow of selected examples of concentrated phase emulsions with multi-core morphology confined within a microfluidic channel. A variety of new nonequilibrium steady states is…
In this article, we report experimental and semi analytical findings to elucidate the electrohydrodynamics EHD of a dielectric liquid droplet impact on superhydrophobic SH and hydrophilic surfaces. A wide range of Weber numbers We and…
The ground state of an electrorheological (ER) fluid has been studied based on our recently proposed dipole-induced dipole (DID) model. We obtained an analytic expression of the interaction between chains of particles which are of the same…
In this work, discrete element method (DEM) simulations coupled with machine learning are used to study the process of dry impregnation. Our results show that the particle bed contains two regimes. Regime 1 shows smaller inclination angles…
