Capillary imbibition of confined monodisperse emulsions in microfluidic channels

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00179F, Paper
Masoud Norouzi Darabad, Sagnik Singha, Siva A. Vanapalli, Mark W. Vaughn, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz
Emulsion imbibition into flat capillaries is very complex. We show that formation of a clear-fluid or dense-emulsion region behind the meniscus, concentration and velocity fluctuations, and generation of ordered domains are confinement controlled.
