Droplet dynamics in confinement [PDF]
Journal of Computational Science, 2016 This study is to understand confinement effect on the dynamical behaviour of a droplet immersed in an immiscible liquid subjected to a simple shear flow. The lattice Boltzmann method, which uses a forcing term and a recoloring algorithm to realize the interfacial tension effect and phase separation respectively, is adopted to systematically study ...

Confinement suppresses instabilities in particle-laden droplets [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Tiny concentrations of suspended particles may alter the behavior of an evaporating droplet remarkably, leading to partially viscous and partially elastic dynamical characteristics.

Droplet under confinement: Competition and coexistence with a soliton bound state
Physical Review Research, 2021 We study the stability of a quantum droplet and its associated phase transitions in ultracold Bose-Bose mixtures uniformly confined in quasi-two-dimensions with a periodic boundary condition.

Droplet microfluidics driven by gradients of confinement [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2013 The miniaturization of droplet manipulation methods has led to drops being proposed as microreactors in many applications of biology and chemistry. In parallel, microfluidic methods have been applied to generate monodisperse emulsions for applications in the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries.

Dynamics of quantum droplets in an external harmonic confinement
Scientific Reports, 2022 Recent theoretical and experimental results show that one-dimensional (1D) weakly interacting atomic Bose-Bose mixtures with repulsive interspecies mean field (MF) interaction are stabilized by attractive quadratic beyond-mean-field (BMF) effects into ...
