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…
Scalable Surface Area Characterization by Electrokinetic Analysis of Complex Anion Adsorption
Dorian A. H. Hanaor, Maliheh Ghadiri, Wojciech Chrzanowski +1
By means of the in situ electrokinetic assessment of aqueous particles in conjunction with the addition of anionic adsorbates, we develop and examine a new approach to the scalable…
Static friction at fractal interfaces
Dorian Hanaor, Yixiang Gan, Itai Einav
Tribological phenomena are governed by combined effects of material properties, topology and surface-chemistry. We study the interplay of multiscale surface structures with molecul…
Contact mechanics of fractal surfaces by spline assisted discretisation
Dorian Hanaor, Yixiang Gan, Itai Einav
We present a newly developed approach for the calculation of interfacial stiffness and contact area evolution between two rough bodies exhibiting self affine surface structures. Us…
