A new article with @sreeramr.bsky.social is out in JCIS! We study the dynamics of droplets of fiber suspensions impacting surfaces, a topic important for coating processes and additive manufacturing, among others doi.org/10.1016/j.jc... @univofmaryland.bsky.social @ucsbengineering.bsky.social

Engineer and photographer Harold Edgerton was born #OTD in 1903. He pioneered various forms of high-speed photography using specialized cameras, strobe lighting, and other techniques. You’ve probably seen many of the images he created! 🧪 ⚛️ 📸 Images: MIT; H. Edgerton

Our new study, led by Philippe Gondret and Cyprien Morize (FAST Laboratory), part of Wladimir Sarlin's PhD, has just been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics. It explores how impulsive motions generate waves. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.... @univparissaclay.bsky.social @univofmaryland.bsky.social

Sand is far more fascinating up close! Each grain is unique, with its own signature of geological history and micro-shape sculpted by time and erosion. Yet, collectively, they can behave as a fluid! magnifiedsand.com has a lot of cool pictures from all around the world!

From a visit to the Renwick Gallery in DC a couple of weeks ago: a very cool art piece by Lauren Mabry showcasing coiling instabilities in viscous fluids. A beautiful intersection of art, fluid mechanics (and some rheology!). @sorheology.bsky.social @apsdsoft.bsky.social

The Gallery of Soft Matter 2025 @apsdsoft.bsky.social has some amazing entries this year. Check them out here: engage.aps.org/dsoft/galler.... Make sure to vote! Not sure about the deadline, but there’s a QR code at the DSOFT table with all the details.

Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org doi.org/10.1073/pnas...! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles?

Stickiness matters! From powder handling to geophysical flows, cohesion in granular material plays a crucial role. We review in Soft Matter @roysocchem.bsky.social experimental approaches to create and control inter-particle adhesion pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Looking forward to present our work on transport of particles in porous media at the Traffic and Granular Flow conference today. Big thanks to @apahlavan.bsky.social for the stunning illustration from his paper: doi.org/10.69631/ipj... - great way to motivate studying transport in porous media!

Back in Lyon for the Traffic and Granular Flow Conference tgf2024.sciencesconf.org. Started the day with a run past ENS Lyon—always great to revisit, though it hits differently realizing I started studying there 18 years ago!

If you are at the @apsphysics.bsky.social DFD meeting in SLC come join this morning to hear about a sticky problem: the clogging of suspensions! I will be giving an invited talk at 11:05 am in Hall 3, trying to share the work done by our group in this topic over the past few years

Poster ironed for the DFD-Interact session tomorrow! I cannot recommend enough fabric posters : take no space folded in a luggage, quickly ironed (plus additional blanket on the plane if you need one 😊 - although not very warm!)
