Title:</b> <br>
Interfacial Fluid Mechanics: Theory, Modelling, Simulation, and Some Experiments <br>
<br>
<b>Bio: <br>
</b>Prof. O. K. Matar (OKM) is an Exxon-Mobil Fellow and Professor of Fluid Mechanics in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. He completed an MEng degree in chemical engineering from Imperial College, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University.
His research interests are in transport phenomena and multiphase flows with a wide range of applications: process intensification, light-mediated manufacturing, surfactant-replacement therapy, crude-oil and food processing, coating flow technology, manufacturing
of pharmaceuticals, pipeline transportation of crude oil, distillation, and microfluidics. OKM has studied a wide range of problems in fluid mechanics including surfactant transport on non-Newtonian layers, phase inversion in concentrated emulsions, thin film
flows over rapidly rotating discs, nonlinear bubble sound interactions, fouling in heat exchangers in crude oil distillation units, dynamics of liquids spreading on compliant substrates, multiphase flow in large-diameter pipes, advanced experimental and numerical
methods for the prediction of complex vapour liquid annular flows, and the removal of soft-solids adhering to solid substrates. Professor Matar has given over 50 invited presentations, and has been invited to write a number of reviews, including one in thin
films in <i>Reviews of Modern Physics</i> (impact factor 29.6). He is the PI on a £5M Programme Grant (MEMPHIS

the next-generation predictive tools for multiphase flows. He is also Deputy Director of a recently-announced EPSRC CDT in Fluid Dynamics across Scales at Imperial (</span><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue"><a href="http://www.icfluids.org/">www.icfluids.org</a></span></u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">).
He has co-authored over 160 journal articles with an h-index of 30. He is the Editor-in-Chief of
<i>Multiphase Sci. & Tech.</i>, Editor-in-Chief (elect) of <i>J. Eng. Math.</i>, and on the Editorial Advisory Board of
<i>Int. J. Multiphase Flow</i>. <br>

<b>Abstract:</b><br>
Interfacial flows have been a constant source of fascination for centuries. The complex dynamics of interfaces are at the heart of so many industrial, biomedical, natural, and daily-life settings, and span decades of length and time scales. These include the
formation of wave patterns in film flows, nano- and microfluidics, coating flows, intensive processing, tear-film rupture and surfactant replacement therapy, pipeline transportation of oil-and-gas, and crude-oil processing. The addition of surface-inactive
nano-particles to thin films and drops influences the interfacial dynamics and has recently been shown to accelerate spreading and to modify the boiling characteristics of nanofluids. The presence of surface-active additives can also have a dramatic influence
on interfacial flows, and is responsible for phenomena such as fingering and ``super-spreading" of drops on hydrophobic substrates, and unusually large satellites in jet breakup when present at concentrations that exceed the critical micelle value. The application
of electric fields can also have a drastic effect on the interfacial dynamics, and have been used to destabilise the interface in applications such as electro-spinning and to promote the formation of sprays; in the latter case, electrokinetic effects are also
important. Heat transfer and evaporation can lead to spontaneous pattern formation exemplified by the development of convective rolls, and so-called hydrothermal waves in slender evaporating droplets. Finally, the presence of inertia can lead to the formation
of large-amplitude, potentially three-dimensional interfacial waves in falling films, flows over spinning-discs, and annular gas-liquid flows, which may be accompanied by droplet pinch-off and entrainment. In this talk, results will be presented covering many
of the above applications and settings, using a range of methods: from the use of perturbation theory and reduced order models, to the deployment of large-scale parallelised direct numerical simulations; results from experimental work will also be presented.
Opportunities for future research avenues will be highlighted. </span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
