Self-similarity of contact line depinning from textured surfaces
The mobility of drops on surfaces is important in many biological and industrial processes, but the phenomena governing their adhesion, which is dictated by the morphology of the three-phase contact line, remain unclear. Here we describe a technique for measuring the dynamic behaviour of the three-phase contact line at micron length scales using environmental scanning electron microscopy. We ex...
متن کاملCan nonlinear elasticity explain contact-line roughness at depinning?
We examine whether cubic nonlinearities, allowed by symmetry in the elastic energy of a contact line, may result in a different universality class at depinning. Standard linear elasticity predicts a roughness exponent zeta = 1/3 (one loop), zeta = 0.388 +/- 0.002 (numerics) while experiments give zeta approximately = 0.5. Within functional renormalization group methods we find that a nonlocal K...
متن کاملEnhanced slip on a patterned substrate due to depinning of contact line
We perform numerical simulations of a shear flow over a periodically patterned substrate with entrapped gas bubbles. A diffuse-interface model is employed to handle the liquid-gas interface deformation and the three-phase contact line. Depending on the shear rate and the pattern geometry, four flow regimes are observed. The contact lines can be pinned, depinned, or eliminated depending on the c...
متن کاملOptimizing 3D Triangulations to Recapture Sharp Edges
In this report, a technique for optimizing 3D triangulations is proposed. The method seeks to minimize an energy defined as a sum of energy terms for each edge in a triangle mesh. The main contribution is a novel per edge energy which strikes a balance between penalizing dihedral angle yet allowing sharp edges. The energy is minimized using edge swapping, and this can be done either in a greedy...
متن کاملPreserving sharp edges in geometry images
A geometry image offers a simple and compact way of encoding the geometry of a surface and its implicit connectivity in an image-like data structure. It has been shown to be useful in multiple applications because of its suitability for efficient hardware rendering, level of detail, filtering, etc. Most existing algorithms generate geometry images by parameterizing the surface onto a domain, an...
