Numerical investigation of thermocapillary and buoyancy convection in horizontal ribbon growth with lid-driven boundary

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
The melt flow stability has a direct effect on crystal quality during the horizontal ribbon growth (HRG) process. The mixed convection in the HRG system includes thermocapillary convection, buoyancy convection, and the convection induced by the lid ...

"Ultimate state" of two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between free-slip fixed temperature boundaries

open access: yes, 2011
Rigorous upper limits on the vertical heat transport in two dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between stress-free isothermal boundaries are derived from the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The Nusselt number Nu is bounded in

Membrane Wrapping for High Capacity and Rapidly Switchable Adhesives

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A membrane‐wrapping mechanism enables high‐capacity, rapidly switchable adhesion by coupling suction, friction, and adhesion. Broadband performance is achieved in dry and underwater conditions, allowing fast, reversible manipulation of objects of diverse sizes and shapes, from delicate eggs and berries to flat, complex, or heavy objects. These outcomes

Small- and Large-scale Characterization and Mixing Properties in a Thermally Driven Thin Liquid Film

open access: yes, 2015
Thin liquid films are nanoscopic elements of foams, emulsions and suspensions, and form a paradigm for nanochannel transport that eventually test the limits of hydrodynamic descriptions.

Photothermal Macroporous Lignin Cryogels for Off‐Grid, Continuous Atmospheric Water Collection via Interlayer Heat Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

Mimicking Block Copolymer Self‐Assembly with One‐Pot Synthesized Polyphosphoester Gradient Copolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Degradable Polyphosphoester (PPE) gradient copolymers (GCPs) are synthesized via one‐pot copolymerization. We show that GCPs self‐assemble into nanostructures like polymersomes, effectively mimicking the behavior of traditional BCPs. The gradient strength is key, with softer gradients favoring micelles.

Rayleigh-Benard convection in a viscoelastic fluid-filled high-porosity medium with nonuniform basic temperature gradient

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2001
The qualitative effect of nonuniform temperature gradient on the linear stability analysis of the Rayleigh-Benard convection problem in a Boussinesquian, viscoelastic fluid-filled, high-porosity medium is studied numerically using the single-term ...

The sensitivity of rapidly rotating Rayleigh--B\'enard convection to Ekman pumping

open access: yes, 2017
The dependence of the heat transfer, as measured by the nondimensional Nusselt number $Nu$, on Ekman pumping for rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in an infinite plane layer is examined for fluids with Prandtl number $Pr = 1$.

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.
