The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Accurately simulating multiphase flows at low capillary numbers remains challenging due to spurious currents and interface discretization errors. We present a systematic comparison of four volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) solvers within the OpenFOAM framework for pressure‐driven Poiseuille–Bingham flow over grooved surfaces: interFoam with classical ...

Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications
Droplet, EarlyView.As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.

Localized 3D acoustic streaming in microdroplets using high‐frequency micro‐beam IDTs
Droplet, EarlyView.Miniaturized 160 MHz acoustic microbeam transducers, with a size much smaller than droplets, enable precise localized actuation, generating complex three‐dimensional streaming and tunable particle aggregation. This concept provides high‐resolution, non‐contact fluid manipulation for biosensing, lab‐on‐chip diagnostics, and targeted drug screening ...
