Dr. Truscott was awarded tenure this month! We are so happy for him and glad that we have been able to work with him over the years. We recently tallied up some of the Splash Lab's accomplishments, here are some of the numbers. Published 34 major journal articles Presented at APS DFD 49 times Entered [...]
Abstract: Droplets on fibers are part of our everyday lives. Many phenomena involve drops and fibers such as the formation of dew droplets on a spiderweb, the trapping of water droplets on cactus spines or the motion of droplets on wetted moss hairs. These topics have been widely studied. In particular, Lorenceau \textit{et al.} \footnote{Lorenceau [...]
In February we published our article "Three-dimensional microscopic light field particle image velocimetry" in Experiments in Fluids. The abstract is below and the full article can be found here. Enjoy! A microscopic particle image velocimetry (μPIV) technique is developed based on light field microscopy and is applied to flow through a microchannel containing a backward-facing step. [...]
Abstract: A microscopic particle image velocimetry (μPIVμPIV) technique is developed based on light field microscopy and is applied to flow through a microchannel containing a backward-facing step. The only hardware difference from a conventional μμPIV setup is the placement of a microlens array at the intermediate image plane of the microscope. The method combines this [...]
