Valence can control the nonexponential viscoelastic relaxation of multivalent reversible gels

Hugo Camille Valentin Le Roy

Gels made of telechelic polymers connected by reversible cross-linkers are a versatile design platform for biocompatible viscoelastic materials. Their linear response to a step strain displays a fast, near-exponential relaxation when using low-valence cros ...

Numerical simulation of immiscible incompressible viscous, viscoelastic and elastic multiphase flows

Léo Aurélio Diserens

A unified numerical framework is presented for the modelling of multiphasic viscoelastic and elastic flows. The rheologies considered range from incompressible Newtonian or Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluids to Neo-Hookean elastic solids. The model is formulate ...

Graphical solutions to one-phase free boundary problems

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona, Hui Yu

We study viscosity solutions to the classical one-phase problem and its thin counterpart. In low dimensions, we show that when the free boundary is the graph of a continuous function, the solution is the half-plane solution. This answers, in the salient di ...

Rheological Properties of Ionically Crosslinked Viscoelastic 2D Films vs. Corresponding 3D Bulk Hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Gaia De Angelis

Ionically crosslinked hydrogels containing metal coordination motifs have piqued the interest of researchers in recent decades due to their self-healing and adhesive properties. In particular, catechol-functionalized bulk hydrogels have received a lot of a ...

Revisiting the role of friction coefficients in granular collapses: confrontation of 3-D non-smooth simulations with experiments

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

In this paper, transient granular flows are examined both numerically and experimentally. Simulations are performed using the continuous three-dimensional (3-D) granular model introduced in Daviet & Bertails-Descoubes (ACM Trans. Graph., vol. 35, no. 4, 20 ...

Quantification of the Phenomena Affecting Reflective Arterial Photoplethysmography

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely emerging method to assess vascular health in humans. The origins of the signal of reflective PPG on peripheral arteries have not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to identify and quantify the optical and biomecha ...

Scanning Small-Angle X-ray Scattering of Injection-Molded Polymers: Anisotropic Structure and Mechanical Properties of Low-Density Polyethylene

Marianne Liebi, Manuel Guizar Sicairos

Injection molding is known to create a layered anisotropicmorphologyacross the sample thickness due to varying shear and cooling ratesduring the manufacturing process. In this study, scanning small-angleX-ray scattering was used to visualize and quantify t ...

Influence of Viscous Lubricant on Nucleation and Propagation of Frictional Ruptures

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Federica Paglialunga

Fluids are pervasive in the Earth's crust and saturate fractures and faults. The combination of fluids and gouge layers developing along faults can generate fluids of different viscosities. Such viscous fluids were found to influence the reactivation, fric ...

lifex-cfd: An open-source computational fluid dynamics solver for cardiovascular applications

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Marco Fedele

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool for the simulation of the cardiovascular function and dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomy, the transitional regime of blood flow in the heart, and the strong mutual influence between the ...

Fourier Collocation and Reduced Basis Methods for Fast Modeling of Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray

A projection-based reduced order model (ROM) based on the Fourier collocation method is proposed for compressible flows. The incorporation of localized artificial viscosity model and filtering is pursued to enhance the robustness and accuracy of the ROM fo ...

Effects of velocity-dependent apparent toughness on the pre- and post-shut-in growth of a hydraulic fracture

Dong Liu, Guanyi Lu

We investigate the growth of a plane-strain/radial hydraulic fracture in an infinite impermeable medium driven by a constant injection rate assuming that the apparent toughness scales with the decreasing fracture growth rate in a power-law relation. The vi ...

Experimental Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Closure in a Porous Sandstone

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Mohsen Talebkeikhah, Guanyi Lu

Depending on the type of fracture propagation regime when the injection stops, the closure of the fracture may occur exactly after the injection ceases, in the case where the fracturing process is dominated by fracture energy, or the fracture propagate for ...

Friction Induces Anisotropic Propulsion in Sliding Magnetic Microtriangles

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In viscous fluids, motile microentities such as bacteria or artificial swimmers often display different transport modes than macroscopic ones. A current challenge in the field aims at using friction asymmetry to steer the motion of microscopic particles. H ...
