Cell mechanics in biomedical cavitation

Published in Interface Focus, 2015

This review paper examines the interdisciplinary field of cell mechanics in biomedical cavitation, focusing on the deformation behaviors of cellular entities like coated microbubbles and liposomes when subjected to cavitation flow.

Modeling of Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Growth with Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Published in JECS Meeting Abstracts, 2025

This work presents a continuum model for solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth in lithium-ion batteries, grounded in bulk-surface non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The model systematically treats reaction kinetics, moving interface conditions, and chemical potential functions to derive a consistent set of equations governing species concentrations, electric potential, and SEI thickness. The study demonstrates how resistive effects of the growing SEI and capacitive effects of electrochemical double layers influence cell behaviour, with validation against experimental energy and power capacity data showing realistic performance across different charging rates.

A collapsing bubble-based micropump for viscous liquids

Published in Experimental and Computational Multiphase Flow, 2026

This study numerically investigates a micropump mechanism driven by the collapse of a bubble near a perforated rigid plate. During collapse, a liquid jet forms toward the plate, and part of the jet flow passes through a truncated cone hole, transporting liquid from one side to the other — offering a micropump with no moving parts and exceptionally rapid response time. Using the volume of fluid (VOF) method with a single-field Navier–Stokes formulation accounting for surface tension and viscosity, the study examines the effects of cone angle, standoff distance, plate thickness, and liquid viscosity on pumping performance. Results show that increasing any of these parameters reduces the net mass pumped through the hole.
