Simulation of nanodroplet impact on a solid surface
A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...

متن کاملDielectrophoretic liquid actuation and nanodroplet formation
Water, like any polarizable medium, responds to a nonuniform electric field by collecting preferentially in regions of maximum field intensity. This manifestation of dielectrophoresis ~DEP! makes possible a variety of microelectromechanical liquid actuation schemes. In particular, we demonstrate a new class of high-speed DEP actuators, including ‘‘wall-less’’ flow structures, siphons, and nanod...
متن کاملWettability of boron monolayer using molecular dynamics simulation method
Over the past years, two-dimensional materials such as graphene, phosphorene, silicene, and boron-nitride have attracted the attention of many researchers. After the successful synthesis of graphene, due to its many new applications, researches began to produce nanosheets from other elements, and among these elements, boron was one of the options. In the periodic table of elements, boron is ahe...
متن کاملFundamentals and Applications of Electrowetting: A Critical Review
We have witnessed rapid and exciting development in electrowetting (EW) or electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) since 1990s. Owing to its great advantages such as easy operation, sensitive response and electrical reversibility, EW has found many applications in various fi elds, especially in microand nano-fl uidics, electronic display, etc. The aim of this review is to inspire new investigations...
