Chemically-reacting flows are some of the toughest problems to unravel. In this new study, researchers found that the very act of flowing through narrow channels can change the speed of Keep reading

Spin Coating Capillary Tubes
To coat the interior of a capillary tube, you typically fill the tube with a viscous liquid, then pump air in to displace the liquid, leaving behind a thin film Keep reading
Contact-Line Dissipation
In the confines of a narrow tube, a flow’s energy gets dissipated in two places: inside the bulk fluid and along the contact line. The former is standard for all Keep reading
Encapsulating Droplets
In applications like drug delivery, it’s often desirable to encapsulate one or more liquid droplets in an additional immiscible fluid. These drops-within-drops, called double emulsions, are typically a multi-step process, Keep reading
