Pendant drops spontaneously appear on the underside of wet surfaces through the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. These droplets have no contact line, they are connected to a thin liquid film with which they exchange liquid and are thus mobile:…
Active fluid droplets are a class of soft materials exhibiting autonomous motion sustained by an energy supply. Such systems have been shown to capture motility regimes typical of biological cells and are ideal candidates as building-block…
We have studied the effect of small amounts of added liquid on the dynamic behavior of a granular system consisting of spherical glass beads. The critical acceleration $\Gamma$ for fluidization is found to increase strongly when liquid is…
The predictive power of mean-field theory is emphasized by comparing theory with simulations under controlled conditions. The recently developed test-field method is used to extract turbulent transport coefficients both in kinematic as well…
The ballistic impact of various dense particle suspensions is of interest for the development of superior materials for personal protective equipment. The dynamic response of the fluids under impact of a fragment simulating projectile at…
The frictional forces of a viscous liquid flow are a major energy loss issue and severely limit microfluidics practical use. Reducing this drag by more than a few tens of percent remain illusive. Here, we show how cylindrical…
Self-propelled particles can exhibit surprising non-equilibrium behaviors, and how they interact with obstacles or boundaries remains an important open problem. Here we show that chemically propelled micro-rods can be captured, with little…
In microfluidic systems, droplets undergo intricate deformations as they traverse flow-focusing junctions, posing a challenging task for accurate measurement, especially during short transit times. This study investigates the physical…
Influence of volume capture on a process of volume reflection of ultrarelativistic particles moving in bent single crystals was considered analytically. Relations describing various distributions of particles involving in the process, the…
We observe the dynamics of waves propagating on the surface of a ferrofluid under the influence of a spatially and temporarily modulated field. In particular, we excite plane waves by a travelling lamellar modulation of the magnetization.…
The ability of stacks of superconducting tapes to trap large magnetic fields makes them ideal candidates for creating powerful permanent magnets of compact size and mass. Experimentally, several techniques are used to trap the maximum…
We predict a novel flow regime in liquid metals under the influence of a magnetic field. It is characterised by long periods of nearly steady, two-dimensional flow interrupted by violent three-dimensional bursts. Our prediction has been…
We continue our construction of a hydrodynamical description of a holographic model with broken translation invariance. Using the fluid/gravity correspondence we derive the constitutive relations of the boundary theory in the presence of a…
Anomalous resonances in properly shaped plasmonic nanostructures can in principle lead to infinite absorption/gain efficiencies over broad bandwidths. By developing a closed-form analytical solution for the fields scattered by conjoined…
We investigate why the non-slip boundary condition for the velocity, imposed in the direction of impressed magnetic fields, can contribute to the magnetic inhibition effect based on the nonhomogeneous magnetic Rayleigh--Taylor (abbr. NMRT)…
We study experimentally blast wave dynamics on a weakly interacting fluid of light. The fluid density and velocity are measured in 1D and 2D geometries. Using a state equation arising from the analogy between optical propagation in the…
The dynamic behavior of a partially wetting polymer droplet driven over a nanostructured interface is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. We consider the bead-spring model to represent a polymeric liquid that partially wets a…
A new three-dimensional (3D) multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for adsorption physics in packed beds of spherical beads is developed and validated. The model is constituted at a macroscopic scale that integrates new…
Experiments have been performed using microscopic beads to probe the small scale mechanics of actin solutions. We show that that there are a number of regimes possible as a function of the size of the probing particle. In certain cases we…
A system of ferromagnetic particles trapped at a liquid-liquid interface and subjected to a set of magnetic fields (magnetocapillary swimmers) is studied numerically using a hybrid method combining the pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann…
