Presentation
Drops on fibrous structures play a crucial role in numerous industrial processes and applications. These include, but are not limited to, microfluidics, refrigeration coils, and textiles, as well as being omnipresent on slender structures in nature, grown by both plants and animals. In this talk, Andreas will present how we can use fiber geometry as a way to manipulate droplet flow. He will show how droplets can self-propel fibers and that droplets on twisted fibers give rise to a rich array of flow regimes, which can be used to design interactions at junctions and may help improve water harvesting potential in fog nets.
Program
11:30 – Doors open and lunch is served
12:00 – "Designing droplet-fiber interactions to improve water harvesting capacity of fog nets" by Andreas Carlson (Professor, Department of Mathematics)
This event is open for all students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and everyone else who is interested in the topic. No registration needed.
About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies house every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here.
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long!
