Elastic boost: an ideal non-linear rheology for particle manipulation and sorting

May 6, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

MATH 203

Particle sorting and manipulation have applications in a wide range of fields, from pharmaceutical sciences to biomedical and material engineering. It has been shown that the non-linearity in the background fluid flow, either coming from the fluid inertia or from the non- ... Read more

On Contact Lines of Newtonian, Viscoplastic, and Odd Fluids

May 6, 2025 - 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

MATH 203

Capillary ripples in thin films reflect the fluid’s response to surface tension and viscous forces. We study ripple formation in Newtonian, viscoplastic, and odd viscous fluids at the contact line of a droplet spreading on a prewetted surface. We report: (1) a critical ... Read more

From Ducts to Glaciers: Computational Methods for Viscoplastic Flow and Inverse Problems in Complex Fluids

May 7, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

MATH 203

This talk presents an overview of computational methods frequently used for viscoplastic flow and inverse problems, highlighting their evolution from industrial applications to environmental modeling. Initially, we demonstrated that while regularisation techniques are commonly ... Read more
