Interplay between optical, viscous, and elastic forces on an optically trapped Brownian particle immersed in a viscoelastic fluid

We provide a detailed study of the interplay between the different interactions which appear in the Brownian motion of a micronsized sphere immersed in a viscoelastic fluid measured with optical trapping interferometry. To explore a wide range of viscous, ...

A Review of Non-saturated Resin Flow in Liquid Composite Moulding processes

Véronique Michaud

The fundamentals of flow in the liquid composite moulding (LCM) processes are reviewed with an emphasis on multiphase flow effects considering the dual-scale thin porous media constituted by the textiles, and the dynamic wetting effects observed with visco ...

A numerical study of the blood flow through the aortic valve: comparison of Newtonian and non-Newtonian models

Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Being able to accurately reproduce the physiological phenomena which take place in blood vessels requires understanding the impact physical parameters have on the fluid’s flow. Modeling blood flow implies choosing, or defining, at least one model with the ...

3D FEM dissipation model of suspended micro channel resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, François Gallaire, Annalisa De Pastina, Andrea Fani

Suspended micro channel resonators (SMCs) consist of hollow resonant structures containing an embedded u-shaped micro fluidic channel. The confinement of the fluid inside the resonator allows real time detection of liquid compounds in air or in vacuum, whi ...

Microdevices for Locomotion in Complex Biological Fluids

Tian Qiu

Locomotion is an essential feature for survival of many organisms, and it is also a technical requirement for untethered biomedical microdevices to operate inside the human body for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. The overall goal of ...

Robust scalable high throughput production of monodisperse drops

Esther Amstad

Monodisperse drops with diameters between 20 mu m and 200 mu m can be used to produce particles or capsules for many applications such as for cosmetics, food, and biotechnology. Drops composed of low viscosity fluids can be conveniently made using microflu ...

Modelling of fluid injection into a frictional weakening dilatant fault

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Federico Ciardo

Understanding the mechanism of nucleation of dynamic rupture is an important issue in seismology. It is the key factor in determining the seismic potential of pre-existing faults under long-term loadings. Furthermore, the activation of Mode II fracture by ...

A Fluid–Structure Interaction Algorithm Using Radial Basis Function Interpolation Between Non-Conforming Interfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Davide Forti

We consider a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problem discretized by finite elements featuring two different grids that do not necessarily agree on the interface separating the computational domain of the fluid from the one of the structure. After identi ...

Laser-assisted inkjet printing of highly viscous fluids with sub-nozzle resolution

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Miguel Antonio Modestino

Drop-on-demand inkjet printing is mostly based on thermal and piezo-actuation, allowing for densely packed nozzles in inkjet printers. However, the droplet diameter is typically defined by the nozzle diameter, thus limiting the range of viscosity that can ...

Turbulent - laminar transition in the propagation of height-contained hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

Fluid flow is usually assumed to be laminar in the modelling of hydraulic fracture propagation. This approximation can however break down in certain cases where a low viscosity fluid (e.g. water) is injected at a high rate resulting in Reynolds numbers wel ...
