Nearly Complete Segregation of Submerged Grains in a Rotating Drum
Yu Chen, Deheng Wei, Si Suo +2
Density-driven segregations, extensively studied in a simple rotating drum, are enriched with a wide range of underlying physics. Diverse symmetrical segregation patterns formed by…
On the Drag Coefficient Universality of a Rough Grain in Creeping Flow
Si Suo, Deheng Wei, Budi Zhao +2
Controversy exists regarding whether grain morphology reduces or enhances the drag of a single grain in creeping flows; further complication occurs when orientation dependence for…
Contact-angle hysteresis provides resistance to drainage of liquid-infused surfaces in turbulent flows
Sofia Saoncella, Si Suo, Johan Sundin +5
Lubricated textured surfaces immersed in liquid flows offer tremendous potential for reducing fluid drag, enhancing heat and mass transfer, and preventing fouling. According to cur…
Dewetting of a corner film wrapping a wall-mounted cylinder
Si Suo, Seyed Morteza Habibi Khorasani, Shervin Bagheri
In this study, we investigate the stability of a liquid film that partially wets a corner between a cylinder and a substrate, using a combination of theoretical and numerical appro…
An unexplored valley of binary packing: The loose jamming state
Si Suo, Chongpu Zhai, Minglong Xu +2
We present a theoretical prediction on random close packing factor ϕ_RCP^b of binary granular packings based on the hard-sphere fluid theory. An unexplored regime is unravelled, wh…
Shear-induced droplet mobility within porous surfaces
Si Suo, Haibo Zhao, Shervin Bagheri +2
Droplet mobility under shear flows is important in a wide range of engineering applications, e.g., fog collection, and self-cleaning surfaces. For structured surfaces to achieve su…
Tailoring porous media for controllable capillary flow
MingchaoLiu, Si Suo, Jian Wu +2
Hypothesis Control of capillary flow through porous media has broad practical implications. However, achieving accurate and reliable control of such processes by tuning the pore si…
Cyclic thermo-mechanical performance of granular beds: Effect of elastoplasticity
Si Suo, Marigrazia Moscardini, Verena Becker +2
Understanding the coupled thermo-mechanical behaviour of compacted granular beds can benefit various industrial applications, such as pebble bed design in fusion reactors. In this…
Tuning capillary flow in porous media with hierarchical structures
Si Suo, Yixiang Gan
Immiscible fluid-fluid displacement in porous media is of great importance in many engineering applications, such as enhanced oil recovery, agricultural irrigation, and geologic CO…
Rupture of liquid bridges on porous tips: Competing mechanisms of spontaneous imbibition and stretching
Si Suo, Yixiang Gan
Liquid bridges are commonly encountered in nature and the liquid transfer induced by their rupture are widely used in various industrial applications. In this work, with the focus…
Fingering patterns in hierarchical porous media
Si Suo, Mingchao Liu, Yixiang Gan
Porous media with hierarchical structures are commonly encountered in both natural and synthetic materials, e.g., fractured rock formations, porous electrodes and fibrous materials…
Modelling imbibition processes in heterogeneous porous media
Si Suo, Mingchao Liu, Yixiang Gan
Imbibition is a commonly encountered multiphase problem in various fields, and exact prediction of imbibition processes is a key issue for better understanding capillary flow in he…
