Maximum overheating and partial wetting of nonmelting solid surfaces.
Surfaces which do not exhibit surface melting below the melting point (nonmelting surfaces) have been recently observed to sustain a very large amount of overheating. We present a theory which identifies a maximum overheating temperature, and relates it to other thermodynamical properties of the surface, in particular to geometrical properties more readily accessible to experiment. These are th...
متن کاملWetting controls separation of inertial flows from solid surfaces.
We investigate the flow of liquids around solid surfaces in the inertial regime, a situation commonly encountered with the so-called "teapot effect", the annoying tendency for a liquid to trickle down the outside of a receptacle after pouring. We demonstrate that surface wettability is an unexpected key factor in controlling flow separation and trickling, the latter being completely suppressed ...
متن کاملWetting theory for small droplets on textured solid surfaces
Conventional wetting theories on rough surfaces with Wenzel, Cassie-Baxter, and Penetrate modes suggest the possibility of tuning the contact angle by adjusting the surface texture. Despite decades of intensive study, there are still many experimental results that are not well understood because conventional wetting theory, which assumes an infinite droplet size, has been used to explain measur...
متن کاملWetting and minimal surfaces.
We study minimal surfaces which arise in wetting and capillarity phenomena. Using conformal coordinates, we reduce the problem to a set of coupled boundary equations for the contact line of the fluid surface and then derive simple diagrammatic rules to calculate the nonlinear corrections to the Joanny-de Gennes energy. We argue that perturbation theory is quasilocal--i.e., that all geometric le...
متن کاملWetting of Curved Surfaces
As a first step towards a microscopic understanding of the effective interaction between colloidal particles suspended in a solvent we study the wetting behavior of one-component fluids at spheres and fibers. We describe these phenomena within density functional theory which keeps track of the microscopic interaction potentials governing these systems. In particular we properly take into accoun...
