We consider the sloshing problem for an incompressible, inviscid, irrotational fluid in an open container, including effects due to surface tension on the free surface. We restrict ourselves to a constant contact angle and seek…
A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast c=(mu_1-mu_2)/(mu_1+mu_2), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b_0+delta b. Fluctuations…
Viscous flows in a quasi-two-dimensional Hele-Shaw geometry can lead to an interfacial instability when one fluid, of viscosity $\eta_{in}$ displaces another of higher viscosity, $\eta_{out}$. Recent studies have shown that there is a delay…
We report an instability exhibited by a fluid system when coupling two distinct types of waves, both linearly damped. While none of them is unstable on its own, they amplify one another, resulting in a previously unreported convective…
The present research is devoted to the problem of stability of the fluid flow moving in a channel with flexible walls and interacting with the walls, which are subject to traveling waves. Experimental data shows that the energy of the…
We consider the contribution of thermal capillary waves to the interaction between a fluid-fluid interface and a nearby nanoparticle. Fluctuations are described thanks to an effective interaction potential which is derived using the…
The first stages of finger formation in a Hele-Shaw cell with lifting plates are investigated by means of linear stability analysis. The equation of motion for the pressure field (growth law) results to be that of the directional…
The dynamics of a rigid particle above a fluid-fluid interface in shear flow is studied here numerically and analytically as a function of the downward force applied on the particle. It is found here that the particle goes below the…
We introduce a new sharp interface model for the flow of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluids. In contrast to classical models for two-phase flows we prescribe an evolution law for the interfaces that takes diffusional effects…
In this work we study the evolution of the interface between two different fluids in two concentric cylinders when the velocity is given by the Navier-Stokes equation and one of the fluids is thin. We present a formal asymptotic derivation…
From extensive molecular dynamics simulations on immiscible two-phase flows, we find the relative slipping between the fluids and the solid wall everywhere to follow the generalized Navier boundary condition, in which the amount of slipping…
This paper presents a numerical analysis of the transition from selective withdrawal to viscous entrainment. In our model problem, an interface between two immiscible layers of equal viscosity is deformed by an axisymmetric withdrawal flow,…
In an effort to study the stability of contact lines in fluids, we consider the dynamics of a drop of incompressible viscous Stokes fluid evolving above a one-dimensional flat surface under the influence of gravity. This is a free boundary…
The deformation of a fluid-fluid interface due to the thermocapillary stress induced by a continuous Gaussian laser wave is investigated analytically. We show that the direction of deformation of the liquid interface strongly depends on the…
We study numerically and theoretically the gravity-driven flow of a viscous liquid film coating the inner side of a horizontal cylindrical tube and surrounding a shear-free dynamically inert gaseous core. The liquid-gas interface is prone…
We study interfacial instabilities between two spatially periodically sheared ideal fluids. Bloch wavefunction decompositions of the surface deformation and fluid velocities result in a nonhermitian secular matrix with an associated band…
We show that the semiclassical dynamics of an electronic droplet confined in the plane in a quantizing inhomogeneous magnetic field in the regime when the electrostatic interaction is negligible is similar to viscous (Saffman-Taylor)…
Diffuse-interface theory provides a foundation for the modeling and simulation of microstructure evolution in a very wide range of materials, and for the tracking/capturing of dynamic interfaces between different materials on larger scales.…
Direct Numerical Simulations of two superposed fluids in a channel with a textured surface on the lower wall have been carried out. A parametric study varying the viscosity ratio between the two fluids has been performed to mimic both {\bf…
Recent research on interfacial instabilities of smectic films has shown unexpected morphologies that are not fully explained by classical local equilibrium thermodynamics. Annealing focal conic domains can lead to conical pyramids, changing…
