Capillary Waves at the Liquid-Vapor Interface. Widom-Rowlinson Model at Low Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have examined in detail the structure and properties of the liquid-vapor interface for the two-dimensional Widom-Rowlinson model in its low-temperature regime. Various simplifying features permit the deduction of several basic results. Included among these are (1) unambiguous definition of capillary wave modes with upper wavelength cutoff proportional to ~ 1 l ’ ~ (el = liquid density); (2) wavelength dispersion of bare surface tension; and (3) nonmonotonic intrinsic density profile (i.e., that with vanishing capillary wave amplitudes). In an Appendix we show how many of these results can be extended to the three and higher dimensional cases.

Widom-rowlinson Model (continuum and Lattice)
Continuum Widom-Rowlinson model: In the beginning of seventies, a great progress has already been made in understanding equilibrium phase transitions and critical phenomena in classical (i.e. non-quantum) lattice models, where basic elements are localized on vertices of a regular discrete structure and interact with their nearest neighbors. The lattice gas analogy [1] of Onsager’s exact solutio...

We report x-ray reflectivity measurements of the internal structure of thin wetting films formed on a silicon substrate from the vapor of a binary mixture of methylcyclohexane ~MC! and perfluoromethylcyclohexane ~PF!. At T530 °C ~below the bulk consolute temperature of Tc'46 °C) variation in the difference in temperature between the substrate and the vapor induces changes in film thickness ~25 ...
متن کاملWidom line and noise-power spectral analysis of a supercritical fluid.
We have performed extensive molecular dynamics simulations to study noise-power spectra of density and potential energy fluctuations of a Lennard-Jones model of a fluid in the supercritical region. Emanating from the liquid-vapor critical point, there is a locus of isobaric specific heat maxima, called the Widom line, which is often regarded as an extension of the liquid-vapor coexistence line....
متن کاملLow melting temperature and liquid surface layering for pair potential models
We have recently proposed @Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 166101 ~2001!# that any isotropic fluid should exhibit surface layering at its liquid–vapor interface above the triple temperature provided that the system has a low triple temperature. In this article we present an extensive study of systems with different isotropic pair interactions, some of which present a very low triple temperature. We have c...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Spherical Vapor Layer Growth Due to Contact of a Hot Object and Water
Vapor film formation and growth due to contact of a hot body and other liquids arise in some industrial applications including nuclear fuel rods, foundry and production of paper. The possibility of a steam explosion remains in most of these cases which could result in injuries and financial damage. Due to the importance of such phenomenon, this study deals with vapor layer forming, growth, and ...
