Simulation of capillary infiltration into packing structures by the Lattice-Boltzmann method for the optimization of ceramic materials
Danilo Sergi, Loris Grossi, Tiziano Leidi +1
In this work we want to simulate with the Lattice-Boltzmann method in 2D the capillary infiltration into porous structures obtained from the packing of particles. The experimental…
Surface growth for molten silicon infiltration into carbon millimeter-sized channels: Lattice-Boltzmann simulations, experiments and models
Danilo Sergi, Antonio Camarano, José Miguel Molina +2
The process of liquid silicon infiltration is investigated for channels with radii from to [mm] drilled in compact carbon preforms. The advantage of this setup is tha…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations on the role of channel structure for reactive capillary infiltration
Danilo Sergi, Loris Grossi, Tiziano Leidi +1
It is widely recognized that the structure of porous media is of relevance for a variety of mechanical and physical phenomena. The focus of the present work is on capillarity, a po…
Lattice Boltzmann simulation of the surface growth effects for the infiltration of molten Si in carbon preforms
Danilo Sergi, Loris Grossi, Tiziano Leidi +1
The infiltration of molten silicon into carbon preforms is a widespread technique employed in the industry in order to enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of the final ce…
Surface growth effects on reactive capillary-driven flow: Lattice Boltzmann investigation
Danilo Sergi, Loris Grossi, Tiziano Leidi +1
The Washburn law has always played a critical role for ceramics. In the microscale, surface forces take over volume forces and the phenomenon of spontaneous infiltration in narrow…
Coarse-graining MARTINI model for molecular-dynamics simulations of the wetting properties of graphitic surfaces with non-ionic, long-chain and T-shaped surfactants
Danilo Sergi, Giulio Scocchi, Alberto Ortona
We report on a molecular dynamics investigation of the wetting properties of graphitic surfaces by various solutions at concentrations 1-8 wt% of commercially available non-ionic s…
