Particle rafts and armored droplets

S Protière - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023‏ - annualreviews.org
Particles floating at interfaces are commonly observed in nature, as well as in industrial
processes. When the particles are non-Brownian particles, large deformations of the …

Wetting heterogeneities in porous media control flow dissipation

J Murison, B Semin, JC Baret, S Herminghaus… - Physical Review …, 2014‏ - APS
Pressure-controlled displacement of an oil-water interface is studied in dense packings of
functionalized glass beads with well-defined spatial wettability correlations. An enhanced …

Influence of the liquid film thickness on the coefficient of restitution for wet particles

T Müller, K Huang - Physical Review E, 2016‏ - APS
The normal coefficient of restitution (COR) for a spherical particle bouncing on a wet plane is
investigated experimentally and compared with a model characterizing the energy loss at …

Detachment of particles and particle clusters from liquid/liquid interfaces

N Sinn, M Alishahi, S Hardt - Journal of colloid and interface science, 2015‏ - Elsevier
The detachment of microspheres from a liquid/liquid interface triggered by body forces is
studied experimentally, both for the case of single particles and for particle clusters. The …

Cohesion and agglomeration of wet powders

PS Raux, AL Biance - Physical Review Fluids, 2018‏ - APS
Wet high-shear granulation consists in vigorously mixing grains and a liquid binder to create
agglomerates of various sizes. The process results from a balance between cohesion of the …

Breaking of a floating particle raft by water waves

L Saddier, A Palotai, M Aksil, M Tsamados… - Physical Review …, 2024‏ - APS
When particles of a few tens of microns are spread on the surface of water, they aggregate
under the action of capillary forces and form a thin floating membrane, a particle raft. In a …

Radar for tracer particles

F Ott, S Herminghaus, K Huang - Review of Scientific Instruments, 2017‏ - pubs.aip.org
We introduce a radar system capable of tracking a 5 mm spherical target continuously in
three dimensions. The 10 GHz (X-band) radar system has a transmission power of 1 W and …

Resonance‐induced acceleration of the RBNE‐BNE segregation inversion

Y Shao, A Li, Z Wang, M Sun, D Huang - AIChE Journal, 2023‏ - Wiley Online Library
The experimental and simulation results indicate that the reverse Brazil nut effect (RBNE)‐
Brazil nut effect (BNE) segregation inversion happens faster in the circular‐bottom container …

1/f noise on the brink of wet granular melting

K Huang - New Journal of Physics, 2015‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The collective behavior of a two-dimensional wet granular cluster under horizontal swirling
motions is investigated experimentally. Depending on the balance between the energy …
