We investigate numerically the dynamics of unstable gravity driven three-dimensional thin liquid films on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrates of longitudinal stripes and checkerboard arrangements. The thin film can be guided…
In this paper, we study the fully developed gravity-driven flow of granular materials between two inclined planes. We assume that the granular materials can be represented by a modified form of the second-grade fluid where the viscosity…
A new type of water droplet transportation on microstructured hydrophobic surface is proposed and investigated experimentally and theoretically - water droplet could be driven by scale effect which is different from the traditional methods.…
First principle gyrokinetic simulation of the edge turbulent transport in toroidal plasmas finds a reverse trend in the turbulent transport coefficients under strong gradients. It is found that there exist both linear and nonlinear critical…
The high inertia of classical fluid coating processes severely limits the possibility of controlling the deposited film thickness through the entrainment velocity. We describe and characterize a new experimental device where the inertia is…
A spinning rough disk moves through a rarefied medium on the plane. The roughness is formed by small cavities on the disk boundary. The medium is so rare that mutual interaction of particles can be neglected. All collisions of particles…
Switchable and adaptive substrates emerged as valuable tools for the control of wetting and actuation of droplet motion. Here we report a computational study of the dynamics of an unstable thin liquid film deposited on a switchable…
Visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, driven by a two-dimensional unstable shear layer that is maintained by an imposed body force, is examined by decomposing it into dissipationless linear eigenmodes of the initial profiles. The…
We extend the linear analysis of the drag instability in a 1D perpendicular isothermal C-shock by Gu & Chen to 2D perpendicular and oblique C-shocks in the typical environment of star-forming clouds. Simplified dispersion relations are…
Compaction is considered and embedded into broader granular behavior. Reversible compaction is related to the pressure exerted by agitated grains, a quantity relevant to dense flow. Irreversible compaction is derived from the loss of…
The intakes of air-breathing high-speed flying vehicles produce a large share of the thrust propulsion. Furthermore, the propulsion performance of these engines increases when the single-ramp intake is replaced with a multiple-ramps intake.…
A new kind of contactless pumping mechanism is realized in a layer of ferrofluid via a spatio-temporally modulated magnetic field. The resulting pressure gradient leads to a liquid ramp, which is measured by means of X-rays. The transport…
We study the response of an adsorbed monolayer on a disordered substrate under a driving force using Brownian molecular-dynamics simulation. We find that the sharp longitudinal and transverse depinning transitions with hysteresis still…
We present experiments on weakly-pinned vortices, which exhibit a large critical transverse depinning force. These results are obtained in the superconducting metallic glasses Fe$_{x}$Ni$_{1-x}$Zr$_{2}$ using crossed ac and dc driving…
We provide some general theoretical results to guide the optimization of transverse hydrodynamic phenomena in superhydrophobic channels. Our focus is on the canonical micro- and nanofluidic geometry of a parallel-plate channel with an…
This arXiv article describes the fluid dynamics video on `Gravity-driven thin-film flow with negatively buoyant particles', presented at the 64th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics in Baltimore, MD in November 2011. The…
Marangoni condensation - where surface tension gradients induce instabilities that lead to condensate film breakup into discrete droplets - has traditionally been thought of being restricted to 'positive' binary mixtures, where the less…
When a liquid drop falls on a solid substrate, the air layer in between them delays the occurrence of liquid--solid contact. For impacts on smooth substrates, the air film can even prevent wetting, allowing the drop to bounce off with…
The currents and field distributions of a vortex in a thin superconducting strip of a width $W$ is considered. It is shown that unlike infinite films where the vortex field crosses the film only in one direction (say, from the half-space…
The collective charge density wave (CDW) conduction is modulated by a transverse single-particle current in a transistor-like device. Nonequilibrium conditions in this geometry lead to an exponential reduction of the depinning threshold,…
