Microscopic and macroscopic structure of the precursor layer in spreading viscous drops.

چکیده
We study the spreading of viscous nonvolatile liquids on smooth horizontal substrates using a phase-modulated interference microscope with sufficient dynamic range to enable the simultaneous measurement of both the inner ("microscopic") length scale and the outer ("macroscopic") flow scale in addition to the intermediate matching region. The resulting measurements of both the apparent contact angle and the lateral scale of the precursor "wetting" film agree quantitatively with theoretical predictions for a van der Waal's liquid over a wide range of capillary numbers.

Due to the complex corrosion mechanism of the bronze objects, explaining the structure of different layers of corrosion in these objects at microscopic levels is possible. Typically copper oxide(I) is the first corrosion layer on surface of bronze objects that are excavated of historical sites. However, depending on the environmental conditions، various forms of corrosion layer of tin or copper...
متن کاملThe spreading of macroscopic droplets
2014 Some experimental results on the macroscopic spreading of hanging and sessile drops on smooth surfaces are presented. The results for sessile drops nicely corroborate the main aspects of the spreading theory of de Gennes and Joanny. However, it is shown that one assumption of the theory, namely the retainment of a self-similar shape during spreading, which is approximately true for sessile...
متن کاملCellular Automata Simulation of a Bistable Reaction-Diffusion System: Microscopic and Macroscopic Approaches
The Cellular Automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the Schlögl model as a bistable Reaction-Diffusion System. Both microscopic and macroscopic Cellular Automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. The results show the tendency of the system towards the more sta...
متن کاملSimulations of Solid–on–Solid Models of Spreading of Viscous Droplets
We have studied the dynamics of spreading of viscous non–volatile fluids on surfaces by Monte Carlo simulations of solid–on–solid (SOS) models. We have concentrated on the complete wetting regime, with surface diffusion barriers neglected for simplicity. First, we have performed simulations for the standard SOS model. Formation of a single precursor layer, and a density profile with a spherical...
متن کاملA “v2-f Based” Macroscopic K-Ε Model for Turbulent Flow through Porous Media
In this paper a new macroscopic k-ε model is developed and validated for turbulent flow through porous media for a wide range of porosities. The morphology of porous media is simulated by a periodic array of square cylinders. In the first step, calculations based on microscopic v2 − f model are conducted using a Galerkin/Least-Squares finite element formulation, employing equalorder bilinear ve...
