Lift-Off Instability During the Impact of a Drop on a Solid Surface

John Martin Kolinski

We directly measure the rapid spreading dynamics succeeding the impact of a droplet of fluid on a solid, dry surface. Upon impact, the air separating the liquid from the solid surface fails to drain and wetting is delayed as the liquid rapidly spreads outw ...

Granulation and bistability in non-Brownian suspensions

Matthieu Wyart

In granulation, a dense colloidal suspension is converted into pasty lumps by application of flow. Often, such lumps are bistable: each can exist either as a fluid droplet (with a shiny surface) or as a jammed granule, whose rough surface creates a bulk st ...

A Dynamic-induced Direct-shear Model for Dynamic Triggering of Frictional Slip on Simulated Granular Gouges

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

This study presents a dynamic-induced direct-shear model to investigate the dynamic triggering of frictional slip on simulated granular gouges. An incident P-wave is generated as a shear load and a normal stress is constantly applied on the gouge layer. Th ...

Partial slip at fluid-solid boundaries by multiparticle collision dynamics simulations

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin, Samuel Hanot

The understanding of the exact boundary conditions at the interface between a solid and a fluid is becoming increasingly important, as the limitations of the no-slip boundary condition are becoming apparent, especially in micro- and nanofluidics applicatio ...

A New Wall Shear Stress Model for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulations

Marc Parlange, Marc Calaf Bracons

A new wall shear stress model to be used as a wall boundary condition for large-eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer is proposed. The new model computes the wall shear stress and the vertical derivatives of the streamwise velocity component b ...

The interplay between apparent viscosity and wettability in nanoconfined water

Kislon Voitchovsky

Understanding and manipulating fluids at the nanoscale is a matter of growing scientific and technological interest. Here we show that the viscous shear forces in nanoconfined water can be orders of magnitudes larger than in bulk water if the confining sur ...

A unified criterion for the centrifugal instabilities of vortices and swirling jets

François Gallaire

Swirling jets and vortices can both be unstable to the centrifugal instability but with a different wavenumber selection: the most unstable perturbations for swirling jets in inviscid fluids have an infinite azimuthal wavenumber, whereas, for vortices, the ...

Numerical Simulation of Orbitally Shaken Reactors

Samuel Quinodoz

Mammalian cell cultures have become a major topic of research in the biopharmaceutical industry. This kind of cells requires specific conditions to grow. In this thesis, we study the hydrodynamics of orbitally shaken reactors (OSR), a recently introduced k ...

Large Eddy Simulation of Particle Dynamics Inside a Differentially Heated Cavity

Christoph Bosshard

In nuclear safety, most severe accident scenarios lead to the presence of fission products in aerosol form in the closed containment atmosphere. It is important to understand the particle depletion process to estimate the risk of a release of radioactivity ...
