Cross-stream migration of a vesicle in vortical flows (2023)
Journal Article
Kabacaoğlu, G., & Lushi, E. (2023). Cross-stream migration of a vesicle in vortical flows. Physical Review E, 107(4), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.107.044608

We use numerical simulations to systematically investigate the vesicle dynamics in two-dimensional (2D) Taylor-Green vortex flow in the absence of inertial forces. Vesicles are highly deformable membranes encapsulating an incompressible fluid and the... Read More about Cross-stream migration of a vesicle in vortical flows.

Machine learning acceleration of simulations of Stokesian suspensions (2019)
Journal Article
Kabacaoğlu, G., & Biros, G. (2019). Machine learning acceleration of simulations of Stokesian suspensions. Physical Review E, 99(6), Article 063313. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.99.063313

Particulate Stokesian flows describe the hydrodynamics of rigid or deformable particles in Stokes flows. Due to highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction dynamics, moving interfaces, and multiple scales, numerical simulations of such flows are cha...

Microfluidic sorting of deformable particles finds many applications, for example, medical devices for cells. Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is one of them. Particle sorting via DLD relies only on hydrodynamic forces. For rigid spherical pa... Read More about Sorting same-size red blood cells in deep deterministic lateral displacement devices.
