IRG I: Fluid Flows-Singularities and Microscales @ University of Chicago
Research Fields: | Condensed Matter Phenomena |
This IRG studies the effects of physics on the micron and sub-micron scale upon flows, and effects of flows upon microscale phenomena. Several projects approach this problem from complementary vantage points. One seeks to elucidate and control the singularities emerging in situations such as fluid ejection, droplet break-up or crumpling. The second studies flow structures occurring in microfluidic channels or at interfaces.
