This fluid dynamics video images the different heat transport mechanisms at play when a liquid confined in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell is heated from below. The two-dimensional time resolved temperature field inside the cell is measured by a quantitative Schlieren technique which is detailed in the video.

The use of microscopic discrete fluid volumes (i.e., droplets) as microreactors for digital microfluidic applications often requires mixing enhancement and control within droplets. In this work, we consider a translating spherical liquid droplet to w hich we impose a time periodic rigid-body rotation which we model using the superposition of a Hill vortex and an unsteady rigid body rotation. This perturbation in the form of a rotation not only creates a three-dimensional chaotic mixing region, which operates through the stretching and folding of material lines, but also offers the possibility of controlling both the size and the location of the mixing. Such a control is achieved by judiciously adjusting the three parameters that characterize the rotation, i.e., the rotation amplitude, frequency and orientation of the rotation. As the size of the mixing region is increased, complete mixing within the drop is obtained.
The formation and evolution of immersed surface micro- and nanobubbles are essential in various practical applications, such as the usage of superhydrophobic rematerials, drug delivery, and mineral flotation. In this work, we investigate the entrapme nt of microbubbles on a hydrophobic surface, structured with microwells, when water flow passes along, and the subsequent microbubble dissolution. At entrapment, the microbubble is initially pinned at the edge of the microwell. At some point, the three-phase contact line detaches from one side of the edge and separates from the wall, after which it further recedes. We systematically investigate the evolution of the footprint diameter and the contact angle of the entrapped microbubbles, which reveals that the dissolution process is in the constant contact angle mode. By varying the gas undersaturation level, we quantify how a high gas undersaturation enhances the dissolution process, and compare with simplified theoretical predictions for dissolving bubbles on a plane surface. We find that geometric partial blockage effects of the diffusive flux out of the microbubble trapped in the microwell lead to reduced dissolution rates.
Interfacial stability is important for many processes involving heat and mass transfer across two immiscible phases. When this transfer takes place in the form of evaporation of a binary solution with one component being more volatile than the other, gradients in surface tension can arise. These gradients can ultimately destabilise the liquid-gas interface. In the present work, we study the evaporation of an ethanol-water solution, for which ethanol has a larger volatility. The solution is contained in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell which is open from one end to allow for evaporation into air. A Marangoni instability is then triggered at the liquid-air interface. We study the temporal evolution of this instability by observing the effects that it has on the bulk of the liquid. More specifically, the growth of convective cells is visualized with confocal microscopy and the velocity field close to the interface is measured with micro-particle-image-velocimetry. The results of numerical simulations based on quasi 2D equations satisfactorily compare with the experimental observations, even without consideration of evaporative cooling, although this cooling can play an extra role in experiments. Furthermore, a linear stability analysis applied to a simplified version of the quasi 2D equations showed reasonably good agreement with the results from simulations at early times, when the instability has just been triggered and no coarsening has taken place. In particular, we find a critical Marangoni number below which a regime of stability is predicted.
Geometric confinements play an important role in many physical and biological processes and significantly affect the rheology and behavior of colloidal suspensions at low Reynolds numbers. On the basis of the linear Stokes equations, we investigate t heoretically and computationally the viscous azimuthal flow induced by the slow rotation of a small spherical particle located in the vicinity of a rigid no-slip disk or inside a gap between two coaxially positioned rigid no-slip disks of the same radius. We formulate the solution of the hydrodynamic problem as a mixed-boundary-value problem in the whole fluid domain, which we subsequently transform into a system of dual integral equations. Near a stationary disk, we show that the resulting integral equation can be reduced into an elementary Abel integral equation that admits a unique analytical solution. Between two coaxially positioned stationary disks, we demonstrate that the flow problem can be transformed into a system of two Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. The latter are solved by means of numerical approaches. Using our solution, we further investigate the effect of the disks on the slow rotational motion of a colloidal particle and provide expressions of the hydrodynamic mobility as a function of the system geometry. We compare our results with corresponding finite-element simulations and observe very good agreement.
Particle-particle and particle-wall collisions occur in many natural and industrial applications such as sedimentation, agglomeration, and granular flows. To accurately predict the behavior of particulate flows, fundamental knowledge of the mechanism s of a single collision is required. In this fluid dynamics video, particle-wall collisions onto a wall coated with 1.5% poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) (viscoelastic liquid) and 80% Glycerol and water (Newtonian liquid) are shown.
