Interfacial phenomena in immiscible liquids subjected to vibrations in microgravity

PS Sánchez, V Yasnou, Y Gaponenko… - Journal of Fluid …, 2019 - cambridge.org
We consider the response to periodic forcing between 5 Hz and 50 Hz of an interface
separating immiscible fluids under the microgravity conditions of a parabolic flight. Two pairs …

Dynamics of the interface between miscible liquids subjected to horizontal vibration

YA Gaponenko, M Torregrosa, V Yasnou… - Journal of Fluid …, 2015 - cambridge.org
We present experimental evidence of the existence of an interfacial instability between two
miscible liquids of similar (but non-identical) viscosities and densities under horizontal …

Two-scale wave patterns on a periodically excited miscible liquid–liquid interface

V Shevtsova, YA Gaponenko, V Yasnou… - Journal of Fluid …, 2016 - cambridge.org
We have discovered a peculiar behaviour of the interface between two miscible liquids
placed in a finite-size container under horizontal vibration. We provide evidence that …

Effect of initial interface orientation on patterns produced by vibrational forcing in microgravity

PS Sánchez, Y Gaponenko, V Yasnou… - Journal of Fluid …, 2020 - cambridge.org
When a container with two distinct fluids is subjected to vibrations in microgravity, the
interface may undergo a variety of instabilities and develop towards a complex structure, as …

Interfacial pattern selection in miscible liquids under vibration

Y Gaponenko, MM Torregrosa, V Yasnou, A Mialdun… - Soft Matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
We explore the peculiar behaviour of an interface between two miscible liquids of similar
(but non-identical) viscosities and densities under horizontal vibration with a frequency less …

Vibrational convection in a heterogeneous binary mixture. Part 1. Time-averaged equations

A Vorobev, T Lyubimova - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
High-frequency vibrations of a container filled with a fluid generate pulsation flows that

Finite-size effects on pattern selection in immiscible fluids subjected to horizontal vibrations in weightlessness

P Salgado Sanchez, YA Gaponenko, J Porter… - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
A detailed numerical investigation of frozen wave pattern selection in finite rectangular
containers under microgravity conditions is presented. The column growth cycle controlling …

Nonequilibrium capillary pressure of a miscible meniscus

A Vorobev, S Prokopev, T Lyubimova - Langmuir, 2021 - ACS Publications
We examine the dynamics of a miscible displacement in a capillary, calculating the

Pattern selection in miscible liquids under periodic excitation in microgravity: Effect of interface width

Y Gaponenko, A Mialdun, V Shevtsova - Physics of Fluids, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
We develop a connection between instabilities in a two-liquid miscible system and in a liquid
