We 3D printed rheometry tools to investigate the role of boundary roughness on rheometry. Surprisingly, a single penetration depth could be identified to play a role in the interaction between the fluid and the rough surface. A. Majhi, L. Kool, J. van der Gucht, J.A.

Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations
The BSc program “Natuurkunde & Sterrenkunde” (Physics & Astronomy) at VU/UvA has a course called “NSP2” in the Fall. Students in this course, and the teachers, do various observations and sometimes stumble over unexpected things. Old glycerine is one, but funny droplet dynamics in thin film flows are another. Heavy liquids included as well. AndContinue reading “Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations”

Your drink also has… particles! Then you either love particles and see them everywhere, or you are tipsy. Or both,
Capillary Flow-MRI: Quantifying Micron-Scale Cooperativity in Complex Dispersions
MRI is an amazing tool, and here used to study the complex flow behavior of fat dispersions. Klaudia W. Milc, Thomas Oerther, Joshua A. Dijksman, John P. M. van Duynhoven, Camilla Terenzi — Analytical Chemistry 95, 15162–15170 (2023) 10.1021/acs.analchem.3c01108
Elongated particles discharged with a conveyor belt in a two-dimensional silo

Particles 2023
The Particles 2023 was hosted in Milan this year. As always it was good to catch up with colleagues and friends: Chris, Lou, Riccardo, Vanessa, Rouven and many others were there to connect about, yes, particles!
Thanks Ken
