Complex fluids exist in nature and are continually engineered for specific applications
involving the addition of macromolecules to a solvent, among other means. This imparts …

For the tip-leakage cavitating flow, the existence of both interface and microbubbles at
scales separated by orders of magnitude makes it difficult to be comprehensively …

Drop impact on solid surfaces is encountered in numerous natural and technological
processes. Although the impact of single-phase drops has been widely explored, the impact …

Development of effective technologies for mixing viscoelastic solutions with reagents is still a
challenge, which plays an important role in the fields of disease diagnosis, water …

We present direct numerical simulations of breaking solitary waves in shallow water to
quantify the energy dissipation during the active breaking time. We find that this dissipation …

In this work, the rise of Taylor bubbles in a vertical tube filled with viscoelastic media is
investigated by means of volume-of-fluid-based direct numerical simulations. The …

The rise of a deforming air bubble of fixed volume surrounded by viscoelastic liquids is
investigated by an adaptive direct numerical technique coupled with the volume-of-fluid …

Hypothesis Needle-free injections using microfluidic jets could be optimized by reducing
splashing and controlling injection depth. However, this is impeded by an incomplete …

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) has been widely used in various biochemical microfluidic
applications, many of which use viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid. This study numerically …

Colliding drops are encountered in everyday technologies and natural processes, from
combustion engines and commodity sprays to raindrops and cloud formation. The outcome …
