Droplets Through a Forest

When droplets flow through a forest of microfluidic posts, they can deform around the obstacle or break up into smaller droplets. Here, researchers explore the factors that control the outcome, as well as when droplets collide, coalesce, and mix. (Video and image credit: D. Meer et al.)

New preprint using neutral models instead of randomised null-models for analysis of species distribution patterns (#nestedness, #segregation).

Might also interest #coalescence, island #biogeography, bird people.

Has a quick-start tutorial.

When a drop settles gently against a pool of the same liquid, it will coalesce. The process is not always a complete one, though; sometimes a smaller droplet breaks away and remains behind (to eventually do its own settling and coalescence). When this happens, it’s known as partial coalescence.

Here, researchers investigate ways to tune partial coalescence, specifically to produce more than a single droplet. To do so, they add surfactants to the oil layer surrounding their water droplet. The surfactants make the rebounding column of water skinnier, which triggers the Rayleigh-Plateau instability that’s necessary to break the column into more than one droplet.

Blue stragglers are created by the merger of two low-mass stars. But they have two different views of how these stars interact to create blue stragglers. One merger theory proposes that a violent collision of two unrelated stars creates a blue straggler. Another hypothesizes that a slow coalescence of a gravitationally bound pair creates the straggler star.
