Congratulations to Daniel Bonn, Antoine Deblais, Tess Heeremans and Sander Woutersen! They won an Ig Nobel prize for their research in which they investigate the behaviour of drunk worms as a particular form of active matter. iop.uva.nl/content/news/2024…
Nice to see KTH highlighting this work led by Selim Tanrıverdi, where our @YieldgapITN students Shahriar Habibi and Kasra Amini participated

Excited to release our latest work, led by @CBrowneSciClown: arxiv.org/abs/2311.07431!
Here, we introduce a simple, robust, versatile, & predictive way to mix fluids in porous media—where slow diffusion in laminar flows typically limits mixing. 🌪️💧

The next seminar in the "Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series" is coming up:
Title: Spreading of yield stress fluids
Speaker: Jean-François Joanny
Time: Fri 1600 (GMT) 1100 (EDT) on October 06

Congratulations to Kazem Bazesefidpar for successfully defending his PhD today!
He is also the first KTH PhD student of @OutiLab to graduate. As appropriate, the supervisor looks more nervous than the student!
In a new study, @SamiYamani4 et al. shows that submerged planar jets of viscoelastic fluid generates a state of elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT) with drastic different features to their Newtonian counterpart. See their striking experiments and analysis @ go.aps.org/3PqqFXk
Interesting results on wetting of complex fluids in collaboration with @BagheriShervin! A postdoc position on this topic is available NOW (deadline 31/4):

New paper out with @OutiLab in @PhysRevFluids! We compared the spreading of aqueous and polymer liquids on surfaces. Shear-thinning solutions spread as water in the initial phase meaning that polymer concentration does not modify contact-line friction. journals.aps.org/prfluids/ab…
