Lattice Boltzmann simulations of microemulsions and binary immiscible fluids under shear
Large scale lattice Boltzmann simulations are utilized to investigate spinodal decomposition and structuring effects in binary immiscible and ternary amphiphilic fluid mixtures under shear. We use a highly scalable parallel Fortran 90 code for the implementation of the simulation method and demonstrate that adding surfactant to a system of immiscible fluid constituents can change the mixture’s ...
متن کاملFormation of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Nanofibers Part II: the elaboration of incompatibility in the electrospinning of its solutions
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibers with two molecular weights were prepared via electrospinning process. In this process, the concentration of spinning depended drastically on the gelation process. Also, it was experimentally smaller than obtained concentration in the solution entanglement number approach (SENA). Proof of this incompatibility was explained by the properties of PVDF a...
متن کاملParallel Spinodal Decomposition
Spinodal decomposition encompasses the ordering dynamics of thermodynamically unstable phases. An example of spinodal decomposition is the separation of the metals in a binary alloy. Because physicists have been unable to develop a fully coherent, consistent , and calculable theory on spinodal decomposition, computational studies have served as valuable sources of information. However, since th...
متن کاملNONLINEAR KINETICS OF SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION, AND DISSOLUTION OF INHOMOGENElTIES FORMED BY SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION IN POLYMER BLENDS
Nonlinear kinetics of both spinodal decomposition at early stages, and the dissolution of homogeneities formed during spinodal decomposition,is studied. Variation of the scattering intensity during a complete cycle consisting of a step temperature change from T i in the one-phase. region to T2 in the two-phase region, a period of spinodal decomposition followed by a temperature drop from T2 bac...
متن کاملThree-dimensional hydrodynamic lattice-gas simulations of domain growth and self-assembly in binary immiscible and ternary amphiphilic fluids.
We simulate the dynamics of phase assembly in binary immiscible fluids and ternary microemulsions using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic lattice-gas approach. For critical spinodal decomposition we perform the scaling analysis in reduced variables introduced by Jury et al. [Phys. Rev. E 59, R2535 (1999)] and by Bladon et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 579 (1999)]. We find a late-stage scaling expone...
