Flow manipulation in a Hele-Shaw cell with an electrically-controlled viscous obstruction

The dataset named “Dataset: Flow manipulation in a Hele-Shaw cell with an electrically-controlled viscous obstruction” consists of Raw time-averaged images, which are generated by sequence of 100 frames extracted from experimental videos captured at various voltages (5V, 10V, 15V, 20V, and 50V), and saved as .tif files. These images were analysed to produce the data used in figure 2 and 3 of the article. The dataset also includes two Excel files named as “Figure 2_Experimental data.xlsx” and “Figure 3_Experimental data.xlsx”. These excel files contain the data used to create the experimental plots shown in Figure 2C, and Figure 3 of the research article respectively.

In the “Figure 2C_Experimental Data.xlsx” excel file, each sheet corresponds to a different voltage value shown in the figure, and contains three columns: A, B, and C. which represents the X-location, Y-location, and orientation angle (in degrees) of the experimental plot (red rods in the figure) respectively. This plot is overlaid on the model data (black rods in the figure) and displayed in Figure 2C given in the article.

The “Figure 3_Experimental data.xlsx” file contains three sheets for each voltage (5V, 10V, 15V, 20V, and 50V) and each of these three sheets provide data at three different X-locations (X=579, X= 1079, and X= 1779) as a function of Y-location as shown in the Figure 3 of the article. Each sheet has five columns: A, B, C, D, and E. These columns represent the X-location, Y-location, Orientation angle (in degrees), Coherency, and Error in the orientation angle (in degrees), respectively. These data points are used to create the experimental scatter plot shown in Figure 3 of the article.
