A fluid–solid momentum exchange method for the prediction of hydroelastic responses of flexible water entry problems

S Tavakoli, T Mikkola, S Hirdaris - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The paper presents a Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method for hydroelastic water entry.
The method assumes that the momentum exchange between the fluid and solid body can be …

Viscoplastic lines: printing a single filament of yield stress material on a surface

J van der Kolk, D Tieman, M Jalaal - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
This study presents the spreading of a single filament of a yield stress (viscoplastic) fluid
extruded onto a pre-wetted solid surface. The filaments spread laterally under surface …

Spreading of viscoplastic droplets

M Jalaal, B Stoeber, NJ Balmforth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
The spreading under surface tension and gravity of a droplet of yield-stress fluid over a thin
film of the same material is studied. The droplet converges to a final equilibrium shape once …

From breakup to coiling and buckling regimes in buoyant viscoplastic injections

S Akbari, SM Taghavi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We study the injection flow of a heavy viscoplastic fluid into a light Newtonian fluid, via
modelling and experiments. The injection is carried out downward, via an eccentric inner …

Soft glassy materials with tunable extensibility

S Sen, RR Fernandes, RH Ewoldt - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Extensibility is beyond the paradigm of classical soft glassy materials, and more broadly,
yield-stress fluids. Recently, model yield-stress fluids with significant extensibility have been …

The role of viscoplastic drop shape in impact

K Isukwem, J Godefroid, C Monteux… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
The impact of fluid drops on solid substrates is a cardinal fluid dynamics phenomenon
intrinsically related to many fields. Although these impacting objects are very often non …

Deep pool water-impacts of viscous oil droplets

U Jain, M Jalaal, D Lohse, D van der Meer - Soft Matter, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
We experimentally study the impacts of viscous, immiscible oil drops into a deep pool of
water. Within the target liquid pool, the impacting drop creates a crater, whose dynamics are …

Reynolds and Weissenberg numbers in viscoelastic flows

RL Thompson, CM Oishi - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - Elsevier
One of the greatest challenges in performing numerical simulations of viscoelastic flow is
how to choose the model parameters in order to be able to achieve quantitative agreement …

Buoyant miscible viscoplastic displacements in vertical pipes: Flow regimes and their characterizations

N Kazemi, S Akbari, D Vidal, SM Taghavi - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We experimentally study miscible displacement flows of a light Newtonian fluid by a heavy
viscoplastic fluid, in a vertical pipe with a large aspect ratio (⁠ δ− 1≫ 1⁠). We use camera …

Producing shape-engineered alginate particles using viscoplastic fluids

S Asadi, AZ Nelson, PS Doyle - Soft Matter, 2022 - pubs.rsc.org
Non-spherical hydrogel particles are of fundamental interest and can find use in a variety of
applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to biomedical to food. Here, we report a new …
