Motion of nanodroplets near edges and wedges.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanodroplets residing near wedges or edges of solid substrates exhibit a disjoining pressure induced dynamics. Our nanoscale hydrodynamic calculations reveal that nonvolatile droplets are attracted or repelled from edges or wedges depending on details of the corresponding laterally varying disjoining pressure generated, e.g., by a possible surface coating.

Viscous Models Comparison in Water Impact of Twin 2D Falling Wedges Simulation by Different Numerical Solvers
In this paper, symmetric water entry of twin wedges is investigated for deadrise angle of 30 degree. Three numerical simulation of a symmetric impact, considering rigid body dynamic equations of motion in two-phase flow is presented. The two-phase flow around the wedges is solved by Finite Element based on Finite Volume method (FEM-FVM) which is used in conjunction with Volume of Fluid (VOF) sc...
متن کاملDynamics of nanodroplets on topographically structured substrates.
Mesoscopic hydrodynamic equations are solved to investigate the dynamics of nanodroplets positioned near a topographic step of the supporting substrate. Our results show that the dynamics depends on the characteristic length scales of the system given by the height of the step and the size of the nanodroplets as well as on the constituting substances of both the nanodroplets and the substrate. ...
متن کاملDecompositions of Objects Bounded by Algebraic Curves
We present a.n algorithm to decompose the edges of planar curved object so that the carrier polygon of decomposed boundary is a simple polygon. We also present an algoritbm to compute a simple characteristic carrier polygon. By refining this decomposition further and using the chords and wedges of decomposed edges, we obtain an inner polygon (resp. an outer polygon) which is a simple polygon to...
متن کاملMotion of nanodroplets near chemical heterogeneities.
We investigate the dynamics of nanoscale droplets in the vicinity of chemical steps which separate parts of a substrate with different wettabilities. Due to long-ranged dispersion forces, nanodroplets positioned on one side of the step perceive the different character of the other side even at a finite distance from the step, leading to a dynamic response. The direction of the ensuing motion of...
متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
