The dynamics of non-spherical rigid particles immersed in an axisymmetric random flow is studied analytically. The motion of the particles is described by Jeffery's equation; the random flow is Gaussian and has short correlation time.The…

We report on different surface patterns on magnetic liquids following the Rosensweig instability. We compare the bifurcation from the flat surface to a hexagonal array of spikes with the transition to squares at higher fields. From a…

In this paper, we report experimental results on the shape and motion of a mercury droplet, placed in a horizontally rotating cylinder in the rpm range 8-93, so that the Reynolds number of the drop 2500<Re<26000 and its capillary number…

This work tackles a significant challenge in dynamo theory: the possibility of long-term amplification and maintenance of an axisymmetric magnetic field. We introduce a novel model that allows for non-trivial axially-symmetric steady-state…

The stable configurations formed by two viscoelastic, ellipsoid-shaped droplets during their arrested coalescence has been investigated using micromanipulation experiments. Ellipsoidal droplets are produced by millifluidic emulsification of…

A theoretical exploration and an analytical model for the electro-magneto-hydrodynamics (EMHD) of leaky dielectric liquid droplets, suspended in an immiscible confined fluid domain has been presented. The analytical solution for the system,…

The motion of submerged magnetic microspheres rolling at a glass-water interface has been studied using magnetic rotation and optical tweezers combined with bright-field microscopy particle tracking techniques. Individual microspheres of…

Using a rotating flat layer heated from below as an example, we consider effects which lead to stabilizing an exponentially growing magnetic field in magnetostrophic convection in transition from the kinematic dynamo to the full non-linear…

We focus on an in-depth study of the forced dynamics of a ferromagnetic single-domain uniaxial nanoparticle placed in a viscous fluid and driven by an external rotating magnetic field. The process of conversion of magnetic and mechanical…

We report the first experimental observation of reversals of a dynamo field generated in a laboratory experiment based on a turbulent flow of liquid sodium. The magnetic field randomly switches between two symmetric solutions B and -B. We…

A `star drop' refers to the patterns created when a drop, flattened by some force, is excited into shape mode oscillations. These patterns are perhaps best understood as the two dimensional analog to the more common three dimensional shape…

A spherical droplet is given an initial rotation in the streamwise direction and is impulsively accelerated by a uniform free stream. Numerical results for the deformation and dynamics of the droplet are obtained by utilising a finite…

We calculate the mesoscopic fluctuations of the magnetic anisotropy of ferromagnetic nanoparticles. A microscopic spin-orbit Hamiltonian considered as a perturbation of the much stronger exchange interaction first yields an explicit…

We derive equations of motion for paramagnetic and ferromagnetic particles fully accounting for gyromagnetic effects. Considering the Einstein-de Haas effect for an ellipsoidal paramagnetic particle we find that starting from a quiescent…

A linear stability analysis of the free surface of a horizontally unbounded ferrofluid layer of arbitrary depth subjected to vertical vibrations and a horizontal magnetic field is performed. A nonmonotonic dependence of the stability…

We study the effects of vertical sinusoidal vibrations on a liquid droplet with a low surface tension (ethanol) deposited on a solid substrate. In a precise range of amplitudes and frequencies, the drop exhibits a dramatic worm-like shape…

We investigate the flow of two immiscible, viscous fluids in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell, when one of the fluids is a ferrofluid and an external magnetic field is applied. The interplay between centrifugal and magnetic forces in determining…

The stability of shapes formed by three viscoelastic droplets during their arrested coalescence has been investigated using micromanipulation experiments. Addition of a third droplet to arrested droplet doublets is shown to be controlled by…

We study the influence of surface anisotropy on the zero-temperature hysteretic properties of a small single-domain magnetic particle, and give an estimation of the anisotropy constant for which deviations from the Stoner-Wohlfarth model…

We study the dynamics of quantized superfluid vortices on axisymmetric compact surfaces with no holes, where the total vortex charge must vanish and the condition of irrotational flow forbids distributed vorticity. A conformal…
