Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble

Excess Pressure Inside a Drop and a Bubble

The shape of a small drop of liquid can be considered spherical, neglecting the effect of gravity. This drop can further be considered as two equal hemispherical drops put together due to surface tension. The forces acting on the spherical drop are due to the pressure of the liquid inside the drop, the pressure due to air outside the drop, and the force due to the surface tension acting on the two hemispherical drops.

Steady, Laminar Flow in Circular Tubes

Steady, Laminar Flow in Circular Tubes

Hagen-Poiseuille flow describes a viscous fluid's steady, incompressible flow through a cylindrical tube with a constant radius R. This flow profile is often applied to understand fluid transport in narrow channels, such as capillaries. It serves as a foundational example of laminar flow. In this model, cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z) are used to describe the radial (r), angular (θ), and axial (z) dimensions within the tube. For Hagen-Poiseuille flow, the velocity profile is purely axial,...

Typical Model Studies

Typical Model Studies

Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.

Background:

Lipid vesicles are crucial in biological systems and materials science.
Understanding vesicle budding dynamics is key to cellular processes and drug delivery.
Previous studies lacked real-time observation of multicomponent tubular vesicle budding.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the real-time budding dynamics of multicomponent, tubular lipid vesicles.
To identify and characterize different bud growth modes.
To estimate membrane bending rigidity and analyze vesicle shape deformation.

Main Methods:

Utilized fluorescence microscopy for real-time observation of vesicle budding.
Measured spatial and temporal scales of bud growth and coalescence.
Analyzed the decay of bud numbers over time and vesicle shape changes.

Main Results:

Observed three distinct bud growth modes: patch-patch, bud-patch, and bud-bud coalescence.
Estimated membrane bending rigidity from observed spatial and temporal scales.
Documented vesicle shape deformation from tubular to spherical due to bud coalescence.
Found bud number decay follows N approximately t-2/3, confirming theoretical predictions.
Observed differences in diffusivity between membrane buds and embedded proteins.

Conclusions:

The study elucidates the complex budding dynamics of multicomponent lipid vesicles.
Experimental validation of theoretical scaling relations for vesicle budding was achieved.
The findings offer insights into membrane mechanics, protein mobility, and vesicle self-assembly.
