Abstract Mesoscale-ordered structures in polymers and soft materials have a myriad of applications in controlling the transport of matter, electrons, or photons. Controlling light propagation with polymers is challenging because photons are sensitive to structural defects; polymers often develop numerous defects due to uncontrolled nucleation and growth.  The first part of this talk will be […]

Cohesive sediment forms flocs of various sizes and structures in the natural turbulent environment. Understanding flocculation is critical in accurately predicting sediment transport and biogeochemical cycles. In addition to aggregation and breakup, turbulence also reshapes flocs toward more stable structures. An Eulerian-Lagrangian framework has been implemented to investigate the effect of turbulence on flocculation by […]
