Active polar fluid flow in finite droplets.
We present a continuum level analytical model of a droplet of active contractile fluid consisting of filaments and motors. We calculate the steady state flows that result from a splayed polarisation of the filaments. We account for interaction with the external medium by imposing a viscous friction at the fixed droplet boundary. We then show that the droplet has non-zero force dipole and quadru...
متن کاملInstabilities in Gravity Driven Flow of Thin Fluid Films
This paper presents theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of the instability development in the ow of thin uid lms. The theoretical part involves basic uid mechanics and presents derivation of the thin lm equation using lubrication approximation. Simpli ed version of this equation is then analyzed analytically using linear stability analysis, and also numerically. The results are ...
متن کاملInterfacial friction of thin 3He slabs in the Knudsen limit.
A high precision torsional oscillator has been used to study 3He films of thickness from 100 to 350 nm, in the temperature range 5<T<200 mK. This thickness is much smaller than the viscous penetration depth, and also much smaller than the low temperature inelastic mean-free path of 3He quasiparticles. Such films are observed to decouple from the motion of the oscillator below 60 mK. We interpre...
متن کاملEXACT SOLUTIONS FOR FLOW OF A SISKO FLUID IN PIPE
By means of He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-Newtonian uid obeying the Sisko model. The nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to He. Furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched...
متن کاملInstabilities in the oscillatory flow of a complex fluid.
The dynamics of a fluid in a vertical tube, subjected to an oscillatory pressure gradient, is studied experimentally for both a Newtonian and a viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid. Particle image velocimetry is used to determine the two-dimensional velocity fields in the vertical plane of the tube axis, in a range of driving amplitudes from 0.8 to 2.5 mm and of driving frequencies from 2.0 to 11....
