Reproducing specific figures from the article

Main text figures

To reproduce Figure 1f, run plot-liquid-parameters.py. The respective dataset is located at misc_data/experimental_stability/2021-12-08c.xlsx.

To reproduce Figure 1g, run stability-plot.py.The respective dataset is located at misc_data/experimental_stability/.

To reproduce Figure 4c, run print_volumes_vs_velocity.py. The spectral unmixing algorithms used to determine the volumes of dyed liquid transferred into the rotating vial are implemented in fluorimetry_processing_*.py files.

To reproduce Figure 6d, run plot_crossings_for_paper.py. It uses datasets obtained by running the image processing code in detect_tears.py and analyze_detected_events.py for individual experiments as can be seen in the per_experiment_commands.py script.

To reproduce Figures 7a,b, run gap-vs-voltage_2.py. The respective experimental dataset is located at misc_data/wired_voltage_thresh_vs_speed.txt. Simulation results precomputed in COMSOL are located at comsol_results/gap-vs-voltage/.

To reproduce Figure 7c, run plot_rheometry_2.py. The respective experimental dataset is in misc_data/rheometry/.
