#Microswimmers trapped in a sessile droplet like to be on the droplet's surface. Why? See our recent Physics of Fluids @ UTwente work published Physical Review Fluids, where we (Mazi Jalaal, @AlvaroGuM, et al.) mimicked the #microswimmers with Janus colloids in H2O2 solution. journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstr…

2023 seminars jointly organized by Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, Journal of Rheology, and Rheologica Acta ... don't miss them!

Our scientist friend, Semir’s hometown was devastated by the two earthquakes last night. He is raising funds with colleagues to support rescue and relief efforts:

MDPI journals have been included in the list of predatory journals. It was about time. predatoryreports.org/news/f/list-of…

Congratulations to the FluidFrame Lab member Mert Yusuf Çam who published a paper in Tribology International "A numerical algorithm to model wall slip and cavitation in two-dimensional hydrodynamically lubricated contacts" sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Daniele Dini

How the side walls effect the falling liquid film instability? To know the answer please read this very good work Journal of Fluid Mechanics by Hammam Mohamed FluidFrame Lab in collaboration with Universität Bayreuth BilMech cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Congratulations to Omer Ilday for the Humboldt fellowship and his new position. The fact that ERC grantees move out of Turkey highlights the retention problem we have been facing. Universities and funding agencies has to develop better strategies for retaining talent!

How does it change the rheology of a colloidal suspension if the colloids are able to self-propel? Read the answer in this Soft Matter paper by Gülce Bayram BilMech in collaboration with Hartmut Löwen Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf in the framework of ActiveMatter ITN pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Just published and #openaccess, Motility-induced shear thickening in dense colloidal suspensions led by A. Gülce Bayram, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Hartmut Löwen and Luca Biancofiore FluidFrame Lab doi.org/10.1039/D3SM00…

This is a lovely body of work for a range of different fluids - and introduces a new dimensionless group; the Tanner Number Tn! #everythingflows (and sometime fractures!). As a bonus some of the numerically-computed edge profiles even look like the The Society of Rheology logo ⏳

Great #ICR2023 The Society of Rheology ! Aside from the Keynote presentation of the PI of the FluidFrame Lab Luca Biancofiore, several oral and poster presentations of members of the group were given Humayun Ahmed Gülce Bayram Ahmet Burak. Congratulations for their fantastic achievements!

Another work involving FluidFrame Lab members Luca Biancofiore. Congratulations David Bronte Ciriza for the hard work! And it was great to collaborate again with Giovanni Volpe Agnese Callegari @FalkoResearch!

If you like viscoelastic fluids and lubrication you cannot miss the new paper on JNNFM of the FluidFrame Lab member Humayun Ahmed Congrats to him! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Elsevier Engineering

The next Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series seminar is on Nov 3rd! Sujit S. Datta: Chaos in confinement: How to make shear-thinning fluids flow thicken 4PM (GMT) / 12PM (EDT) / Sat 12AM (CST) / 3AM (AEDT) More info and RSVP via Cassyni cup.org/3HwfiIB

How is this even possible? This is obviously written by AI. How is it possible that none of the authors AND reviewers missed this? 😲
