Massive growth of the microfluidics field has triggered numerous advances in focusing,
separating, ordering, concentrating, and mixing of microparticles. Microfluidic systems …

Rotating-drum flows span a variety of research areas, ranging from physics of granular
matter through hydrodynamics of suspensions to pure liquid coating flows. Recent years …

Abstract In Selective Laser Melting (SLM), inert gas is pumped into the chamber to eliminate
the deleterious by-products, which includes spatter. Despite this, traces of spatter on the …

Granular materials are an integral part of our everyday life. They are also the base material
for most industrial processing techniques. The highly dissipative nature of the particle …

Dispersed two-phase flows often involve interfacial activities such as chemical reaction and
phase change, which couple the fluid dynamics with heat and mass transfer. As a step …

A dominant aspect of granular flows is flow in thin surface layers. While an understanding of
the dynamics of dry granular surface flow has begun to emerge, the case of flow when air is …

The motion of small particles suspended in cylindrical thermocapillary liquid bridges is
investigated numerically in order to explain the experimentally observed particle …

In this paper, we study the role of shear-induced migration and particle-induced normal
stresses in the formation and stability of a particle-laden, gravity-driven shallow flow. We first …

We consider the flow within a rotating horizontal cylinder containing a small amount of a very
viscous liquid which completely coats the cylinder surface. We show that, under cree** …

Different phenomena related to the spontaneous accumulation of solid particles dispersed in
a fluid medium in microgravity conditions are discussed, with an emphasis on recent …
