Cavitation, the nucleation of vapour in liquids, is ubiquitous in fluid dynamics, and is often implicated in a myriad of industrial and biomedical applications. Although extensively studied in isotropic liquids, corresponding investigations in anisotropic liquids are largely lacking. Here, by combining liquid crystal microfluidic experiments, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and th...

A method to obtain three-dimensional data of real-world objects by integrating their material properties is presented. The material properties are defined by capturing the Reflectance Fields of the real-world objects. It is shown, unlike conventional reconstruction methods, the method is able to use the reflectance information to recover surface depth for objects having a nonLambertian surface ...

Cosmological solutions are obtained in an anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs (KS) and Bianchi Type-I universes considering a cosmological constant with Skyrme fluid. Interestingly, the here both KS Bianchi-I found isotropize at late time due to presence of fluid even absence $\Lambda$ term or any inflationary mechanism involving inflaton field. A comparative study models carried out that universe admi...

Fluid-fluid displacement porosimetry (FFDP) is a method for determining the pore size distribution of porous medium from viscous fluid-fluid immiscible (drainage) results, using simplistic representation structure by cylindrical parallel tubes. The leads to unambiguous estimates when microstructure strongly anisotropic and reasonably akin this representation. information obtained technique howe...

The net flow of electrolyte induced by an ac electric potential applied to an array of asymmetric pairs of microelectrodes has recently been reported. The interaction between the oscillating electric field and the oscillating induced charge at the diffuse double layer on the electrodes results in a steady electro-osmotic velocity distribution on top of the electrodes. This slip velocity distrib...

Our study is motivated by an attempt to develop a rigorous mathematical model of a suspension highly filled with a large number of small solid particles, which interact due to surface forces. We use asymptotic analysis in the small parameter , and consider irregular (nonperiodic) geometries for which the sizes of particles and the distances between them are of order . We present conditions unde...

The anisotropic transfer of dielectric particles by a uniform electric field in nonuniformly heated fluid is modeled. transport anisotropy determined the mechanism interaction between whose permittivity depends on temperature. temperature distribution and their thermal diffusivity does not depend motion fluid, thus corresponding to small Peclet numbers. flow considered approximation Reynolds du...

In this work, a two-layer coupled fluid-structure-structure interaction model is considered, which incorporates an anisotropic structure model into the fluid-structure interaction problems. We propose two domain decomposition solvers for such a class of coupled problems: a Robin-Robin preconditioned GMRES solver combined with an inner Dirichlet-Neumann iterative solver, and a Robin-Robin precon...

Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
