A surfactant-covered droplet subject to both electric field and shear flow is studied using a lattice Boltzmann and finite difference hybrid method, which breaks the limitation of …
A weakly conducting liquid droplet immersed in another leaky dielectric liquid can exhibit rich dynamical behaviors under the effect of an applied electric field. Depending on material …
In this work we quantify the effects of surfactant transport on the deformation of a viscous drop under a DC electric field. We study how convective and diffusive transport of surfactants …
High-resolution blood flow simulations have potential for developing better understanding biophysical phenomena at the microscale, such as vasodilation, vasoconstriction and …
An isolated charge-neutral droplet in a uniform electric field experiences no net force. However, a droplet pair can move in response to field-induced dipolar and hydrodynamic …
Contaminants and other agents are often present at the interface between two fluids, giving rise to rheological properties such as surface shear and dilatational viscosities. The …
We study the effect of surfactant on the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform dc electric field using a combination of numerical simulations based on a boundary integral …
We provide comprehensive numerical insights into the displacement of droplets subject to soluble surfactant-driven flows. The effects of soluble surfactants on the dynamics of moving …
Droplets are known to elongate in extensional flow and exhibit capillary instabilities following flow cessation. Under several practical scenarios, where the deformed drops are …
