Curvature-dependent surface tension of a growing droplet.
A ghost interface simulation technique is developed and applied to supersaturated Lennard-Jones liquid-vapor interfaces. It is shown that the surface tension decreases approximately linearly with the supersaturation ratio and that it vanishes at the spinodal. The effect leads to a curvature-dependent surface tension since, it is argued, the local supersaturation of the vapor above a droplet is ...
متن کاملOff-equilibrium surface tension in colloidal suspensions.
We study the fingering instability of the interface between two miscible fluids, a colloidal suspension and its own solvent. The temporal evolution of the interface in a Hele-Shaw cell is found to be governed by the competition between the nonlinear viscosity of the suspension and an off-equilibrium, effective surface tension Γe. By studying suspensions in a wide range of volume fractions, ΦC, ...
متن کاملSurface layering of liquids: Is surface tension the dominant factor?
Recent measurements show that the free surfaces of liquid metals and alloys are always layered, regardless of composition and surface tension, a result supported by three decades of simulations and theory. Recent theoretical work claims, however, that at low enough temperatures the free surfaces of all liquids should become layered, unless preempted by bulk freezing. Using x-ray reflectivity an...
متن کاملTransient surface tension in miscible liquids.
Evidence of the existence of a transient surface tension between two miscible fluid phases is given. This is done by making use of a density matched free of gravity perturbations, binary liquid of isobutyric acid and water, which presents a miscibility gap and is studied by light scattering. The experiment is performed very near the critical point of the binary liquid, where the diffusion of ph...
متن کاملMeasurement of Density, Sound Velcicity, Surface Tension, and Viscosity of Freely Suspended Supercooi..ed Liquids
Non-contact methods have been implemented in conjunction with levitation techniques to carry out the measurement of the macroscopic properties of liquids significantly cookxl below their nominal melting point. Free suspension of tile sample and remote methods allow the deep excursion into the metastable liquid state and the determination of its thermophysical properties. We used this approach t...
