Temperature-driven flows in nanochannels: Theory and Simulations
Pietro Anzini, Zeno Filiberti, Alberto Parola
The motion of a fluid induced by thermal gradients in the absence of driving forces is known as thermo-osmosis. The physical explanation of this phenomenon stems from the emergence…
Fluid flow at interfaces driven by thermal gradients
Pietro Anzini, Zeno Filiberti, Alberto Parola
Thermal forces drive several nonequilibrium phenomena able to set a fluid in motion without pressure gradients. Although the most celebrated effect is thermophoresis, also known as…
Thermal forces from a microscopic perspective
Pietro Anzini, Gaia Maria Colombo, Zeno Filiberti +1
Thermal gradients lead to macroscopic fluid motion if a confining surface is present along the gradient. This fundamental nonequilibrium effect, known as thermo-osmosis, is held re…
How roughness affects the depletion mechanism
Pietro Anzini, Alberto Parola
We develop a simple model, in the spirit of the Asakura-Oosawa theory, able to describe the effects of surface roughness on the depletion potential as a function of a small set of…
Solvent mediated forces in critical fluids
Pietro Anzini, Alberto Parola
The effective interaction between two planar walls immersed in a fluid is investigated by use of Density Functional Theory in the super-critical region of the phase diagram. A hard…
