Open droplet microfluidic systems manipulate droplets on the picolitre-to-microlitre scale in
an open environment. They combine the compartmentalization and control offered by …

Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the
simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi …

The required step in all droplet-based devices is droplet formation. A droplet generator must
deliver an application-specific performance that includes a prescribed droplet size and …

In soft matter consisting of many deformable objects, object shapes often carry important
information about local forces and their interactions with the local environment, and can be …

Many lab-on-a-chip applications require processing of droplets, cells, and particles using
narrow confinements. The physics governing the process of a particle squeezing through …

Hypothesis The properties of oil-in-water emulsions are influenced by the rheology of the
aqueous phase (continuous phase) and the rheology of the oil-water interfaces. The bulk …

Abstract 3D printing is a rapidly growing field that requires the development of yield‐stress
fluids that can be used in postprinting transformation processes. There is a limited number of …

Single cell analysis has received increasing attention recently in both academia and clinics,
and there is an urgent need for effective upstream cell sample preparation. Two extremely …

We report new dynamical modes in confined soft granular flows, such as stochastic jetting
and dripping, with no counterpart in continuum viscous fluids. The new modes emerge as a …

Two-phase flows are found in several industrial systems/applications, including boilers and
condensers, which are used in power generation or refrigeration, steam generators, oil/gas …
