Ultrasound-driven viscous streaming, modelled via momentum injection

Attinger D., Packer J., Ventikos Y., University of Oxford, UK

Mixing, particle transport, and lysis of biological cells can be performed in microfluidic chips by actuators based on the controlled motion of a gas-liquid interface. There is strong motivation to develop practical and tractable computational [...]

Nanodroplet Impact on Liquid Substrates via Molecular Dynamics

Kakalis N.M.P., Lussier D., Ventikos Y., University of Oxford, UK

In this paper, several aspects of the dynamic behaviour of liquid nanodroplets impacting on liquid substrates are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We consider liquid droplets of 5-10 nm in diameter, consisting of 7,000 [...]

Cerebral Oxygen Diffusion and Transport, at the Microscopic Level, and BOLD fMRI

Hadjistassou C.K., Moyle K., Ventikos Y., University of Oxford, UK

With the prospect of elucidating the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) fMRI effect we consider cerebral oxygen transport at the microscopic scale. We concentrate on the transient response of a capillary-tissue system following brain activity. [...]
