Patterns and collective behavior in granular media: Theoretical concepts

IS Aranson, LS Tsimring - Reviews of modern physics, 2006 - APS
Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

Surfactant dynamics: hidden variables controlling fluid flows

H Manikantan, TM Squires - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
Surfactants–molecules and particles that preferentially adsorb to fluid interfaces–play a
ubiquitous role in the fluids of industry, of nature and of life. Since most surfactants cannot be …

Withdrawing a solid from a bath: How much liquid is coated?

E Rio, F Boulogne - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2017 - Elsevier
A solid withdrawn from a liquid bath entrains a film. In this review, after recalling the
predictions and results for pure Newtonian liquids coated on simple solids, we analyze the …

The motion of a viscous drop through a cylindrical tube

SR Hodges, OE Jensen, JM Rallison - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2004 - cambridge.org
Liquid of viscosity µ moves slowly through a cylindrical tube of radius R under the action of a
pressure gradient. An immiscible force-free drop having viscosity λµ almost fills the tube; …
