Subsuns and Low Reynolds Number Flow [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1998
The phenomenon called the ``sub-Sun'' is the specular reflection of sunlight by horizontally oriented plates of ice. Although well-known in meteorological optics, the hydrodynamics of the orientation is not quantitatively understood. I review the theory of torques on objects at low Reynolds numbers, define coefficients $C_o$, $C_p$, and $C_ψ$ which ...

Self‐Assembled Inorganic Nanomembrane Tubes: Rolled‐Up Piezoelectrics for Microacoustic Wave‐Based Actuators and Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a self‐assembly process to generate free‐standing piezoelectric nanomembranes, forming ultracompact microtubular acoustic wave sensors and actuators. The miniaturized 3D piezoelectric platform reported in this work can be applied in telecommunication, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics. Moreover, the 3D self‐assembly can add

Field‐Programmable Mobile Magneto‐Photonic Metaparticles for Active Light Manipulation and Steering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report magneto‐photonic metaparticles that integrate magnetic actuation with nanoimprinted metagratings, enabling mobile and programmable beam steering in aqueous environments. This platform achieves real time, directional light control beyond static or line‐of‐sight systems, while remaining compatible with scalable fabrication, providing a ...

Characterization of Droplet Formation in Ultrasonic Spray Coating: Influence of Ink Formulation Using Phase Doppler Anemometry and Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study explores how machine learning models, trained on small experimental datasets obtained via Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA), can accurately predict droplet size (D32) in ultrasonic spray coating (USSC). By capturing the influence of ink complexity (solvent, polymer, nanoparticles), power, and flow rate, the model enables precise droplet control

Plasmon‐Induced Optothermal Manipulation of Colloidal Particles and Biological Entities Resilient to Saline Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The particle with high surface hydrophilicity exhibits strong thermophoretic attraction, as its dense hydration layer enhances the role of interfacial water molecules in determining thermophoretic mobility over other ionic effects. This finding elucidates the mechanism underlying the robust thermophoretic accumulation of Escherichia coli in high ...

Aerodynamics of two-dimensional bristled wings in low-Reynolds-number flow

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
The smallest flying insects commonly possess bristled wings and use drag to provide flight forces. A bristled wing, with a wing area about 10% of that of a flat-plate wing, operating at the relevant Reynolds number of 5–15, produces a drag close to the ...
