N03.00001: Clogging in fluidic systems: the self-sabotage of suspensions Invited Speaker: Alban Sauret From pipes to highways to medical devices, stopping the flow is always inconvenient and sometimes dangerous. Clogging can occur in confined flows of particulate suspension that are carrying either too many particles or particles that are too large or sticky. As a result, clogging is problematic in many engineering systems. For instance, the blockage of inkjet printer nozzles or the progressive clogging of irrigation systems by colloidal particles impairs their performance. Similarly, the frequent formation of clogs in nozzles used to dispense fiber-filled polymer inks in extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes limits the concentration of fibers that can be used in three-dimensional printing. |
