Non-isothermal bubble rise: non-monotonic dependence of surface tension on temperature
(2015)We study the motion of a bubble driven by buoyancy and thermocapillarity in a tube with a non-uniformly heated walls, containing a so-called 'self-rewetting fluid'; the surface tension of the latter exhibits a parabolic ... -
Nonlinear vacuum gas flow through a short tube due to pressure and temperature gradients
(2013)The flow of a rarefied gas through a tube due to both pressure and temperature gradients has been studied numerically. The main objective is to investigate the performance of a mechanical vacuum pump operating at low ... -
Spherical capsules in three-dimensional unbounded Stokes flows: effect of the membrane constitutive law and onset of buckling
(2004)The dynamic response of an initially spherical capsule subject to different externally imposed flows is examined. The neo-Hookcan and Skalak et al. (Biophys. J., vol. 13 (1973), pp. 245-264) constitutive laws are used for ...
