Research

To quote Dr. Uzi Landman "Small is different" and fluids are no exception. My research interests lie in the numerical modeling of small scale fluid flows in an effort to better understand chaotic, microfluidic, mixing. So just how small is small? The fluid flows we are investigating involve scales that are too small to develop turbulence and too big to be concerned with diffusion. This means other tools will have to be employed to achieve efficient mixing. Currently I am working with Dr. Roman Grigoriev in an attempt to quantify the velocity and temperature fields in and around a 3D interfacial droplet undergoing thermocapillary migration. Knowledge of these fields will permit a thorough analysis of the chaotic mixing experiments being carried out in Dr. Mike Schatz's lab.
