Mucus is a viscoelastic material with non-linear rheological properties such as yield stress of
the order of a few hundreds of millipascals to a few tens of pascals, due to a complex …

Nearly all pharmaceuticals and nutrients must cross numerous barriers to gain access and
be eliminated from the body. The gastrointestinal mucosa, comprised of specialized …

The objective of this study is to experimentally and theoretically explore the impact of particle
volume fractions and nozzle thread structure on the coaxial air blast atomization of …

Airway mucus works as a protective barrier in the human body, as it entraps pathogens that
will be later cleared from the airways by ciliary transport or by coughing, thus featuring the …

The yield stress and shear thinning properties of mucus are identified as critical for ciliary
coordination and mucus transport in human airways. We use here numerical simulations to …

We established an entropic lattice Boltzmann model to study surface tension effects on
quasiequilibrium liquid plug rupture in two-and three-dimensional channels. The surface …

In this paper, we propose a droplet non-coalescence method based on the lattice Boltzmann
(LB) pseudopotential model. Due to its simplicity, the pseudopotential model has been …

In this thesis, we investigate, through experiments, scaling analysis, and simulation, the
yielding behavior of various complex materials in a Hele-Shaw microfluidic extensional flow …
