The motion of a long gas bubble in confined capillary tube is ubiquitous wide range engineering and biological applications. While the understanding deposited thin viscous film near wall Newtonian fluids well developed, deposition dynamics commonly encountered non-Newtonian remains much less studied. Here, we investigate moving shear-thinning with systematic experiments, varying zero-shear-rate...

The Gibbs-Thomson (GT) equation describes the shift of crystallization temperature for a confined fluid with respect to bulk as function pore size. While this century old relation is successfully used analyze experiments, its derivations found in literature often rely on nucleation theory arguments (i.e. kinetics instead thermodynamics) or fail state their assumptions, therefore leading similar...

Transport of fluid through a pipe is essential for the operation of macroscale machines and microfluidic devices. Conventional fluids only flow in response to external pressure. We demonstrate that an active isotropic fluid, composed of microtubules and molecular motors, autonomously flows through meter-long three-dimensional channels. We establish control over the magnitude, velocity profile, ...

We investigate through non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulations the flow of anomalous fluids inside rigid nanotubes. Our results reveal an anomalous increase of the overall mass flux for nanotubes with sufficiently smaller radii. This is explained in terms of a transition from a single-file type of flow to the movement of an ordered-like fluid as the nanotube radius increases. The occurren...
