fine powders, cohesivity, flowability, fluidized bed
Directions of actual research in a few words:
Main scientific results:
- Description of new kinds of fluid flows induced by ac electric fields in microsystems (ac electroosmosis and electrothermal flows), and their influence in dielectrophoresis
- New types of cone solutions for liquid-liquid interfaces subjected to electric fields are described; the classical Taylor cone solution for conducting liquids is extended to dielectric liquids
-
Experimental and numerical determination of the critical electric field needed to hold a dielectric liquid bridge of given slenderness and volume
-
Theoretical explanation and experimental measurement of the
electric-field-induced fluid flow in microsystems named "ac electroosmosis"
-
Description of an apparatus based on a novel use of a powder bed for measuring different properties of fine cohesive powders
