Viscometer using drag force measurements.
A robust and precise viscometer using the forces exerted by a laminar flow inside a small duct is presented: the force is measured on a long cylindrical sensor dipped into the flow. Two devices of respective volumes 1.4 and 0.031 ml have been realized, demonstrating that the technique is usable with small fluid volumes. Several Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids have been tested at shear rates ...
متن کاملFlexoelectricity in soft materials and biological membranes
Flexoelectricity and the concomitant emergence of electromechanical size-effects at the nanoscale have been recently exploited to propose tantalizing concepts such as the creation of “apparently piezoelectric” materials without piezoelectric materials, e.g. graphene, emergence of “giant” piezoelectricity at the nanoscale, enhanced energy harvesting, among others. The aforementioned developments...
متن کاملGeneralized drag force for particle-based simulations
Computing the forces acting from a surrounding air phase onto a particle-based fluid or rigid object is challenging. Simulating the air phase and modeling the interactions using a multiphase approach is computationally expensive. Furthermore, stability issues may arise in such multiphase simulations. In contrast, the effects from the air can be approximated efficiently by employing a drag equat...
متن کاملDrag force in AdS/CFT
The AdS/CFT correspondence and a classical test string approximation are used to calculate the drag force on an external quark moving in a thermal plasma of N = 4 superYang-Mills theory. This computation is motivated by the phenomenon of jet-quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy on domains in biological model membranes
This thesis describes the preparation and imaging of supported lipid bilayers, which can be regarded as biological modelmembranes, in the light of the formation of domains. The bilayers were prepared with either the Langmuir-Blodgett method, or with vesicle fusion. They were imaged with Atomic Force Microscopy, which has proven to be a powerful tool to image biological samples under aqueous con...
