Impact of a Viscous Liquid Drop (2009)
Schroll, Robert D., Josserand, Christophe, Zaleski, Stéphane, Zhang, Wendy W.
We simulate the impact of a viscous liquid drop onto a smooth dry solid surface. As in experiments, when ambient air effects are negligible, impact flattens the falling drop without producing a...
Laser microfluidics: fluid actuation by light (2009)
Delville, Jean-Pierre, Schroll, Robert D., Chraibi, Hamza, Issenmann, B., Wunenburger, Régis, ...
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical actuation because...

Bridging dielectric fluids by light: a ray optics approach (2008)
Schroll, Robert D., Brasselet, Etienne, Zhang, Wendy W., Delville, Jean-Pierre
Rayleigh-Plateau instability is known to impose a stability limit for the length of a liquid bridge in weightless conditions. This fundamental limit may be exceeded by using a light field to form and...

Liquid Transport Due to Light Scattering (2007)
Schroll, Robert D., Wunenburger, Régis, Casner, Alexis, Zhang, Wendy W., Delville, Jean-Pierre
Using experiments and theory, we show that light scattering by inhomogeneities in the index of refraction of a fluid can drive a large-scale flow. The experiment uses a near-critical, phase-separated...
Liquid Transport Due to Light Scattering (2006)
Schroll, Robert D., Wunenburger, Régis, Casner, Alexis, Zhang, Wendy W., Delville, Jean-Pierre
Using experiments and theory, we show that light scattering by inhomogeneities in the index of refraction of a fluid can drive a large-scale flow. The experiment uses a near-critical, phase-separated...
Picosecond Timing with Cherenkov Light in a "Head-on " Geometry (2004)
Robert D. Schroll, Henry J. Frisch
Abstract We discuss the use of Cherenkov radiation produced by a particle traversing the window of a photomultiplier for fast time-of-flight measurements for particle identification. We simulate the...
