Experimental Investigation Of The Vortex-Induced Vibration Response Of A Flexibly-Mounted Rigid Cylinder In The Shear-Thinning And Inertial-Viscoelastic Flow Regimes, Pieter Boersma
Doctoral Dissertations
Flexible or flexibly-mounted structures with bluff cross-sections in flow can shed vortices at frequencies that increase with increasing flow velocity. When this shedding frequency is equal to the structure's natural frequency, the structure can oscillate. This is called vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). VIV is present in multiple fluid-structure interaction (FSI) systems which can be found in industrial, medical, and engineering applications. These oscillations can be desirable or undesirable, so understanding the physics behind this phenomenon is important. This work seeks to investigate experimentally the VIV response in the inertial-viscoelastic regime where fluid inertia and elasticity influence the system. The subcritical Newtonian …
Assembly Of Polymer Colloids At Fluid Interfaces Through External Fields And Nanoscale Surface Topography, Samuel Trevenen
Assembly Of Polymer Colloids At Fluid Interfaces Through External Fields And Nanoscale Surface Topography, Samuel Trevenen
Doctoral Dissertations
The superposition of dipolar repulsion and capillary attraction energies between colloidal particles pinned at fluid interfaces dictates their microstructural organization and therefore the macroscopic interfacial material properties of particle-stabilized emulsions and 2D monolayer materials. While isotropic, spherical, particles have been extensively utilized, expanding the possible applications and material property tunability via anisotropic particles has been a challenge due to the propensity of particles to form disordered aggregates at the interface. My thesis presents the synthesis of anisotropic polymer ellipsoids and the development and use of experimental tools to study their interfacial behavior to reveal how dipolar and capillary interactions can …
