Droplet Removal by Capillary Lifting
Ke Sun, Jack R. Panter, Alvin C. M. Shek +3
The removal of liquid droplets from solid surfaces is central to cleaning, coatings and oil recovery. Here we investigate liquid droplets capillary lifted by an immiscible working…
The Diffuse Solid Method for Wetting and Multiphase Fluid Simulations in Complex Geometries
Fandi Oktasendra, Michael Rennick, Samuel J. Avis +2
We develop a diffuse solid method that is versatile and accurate for modeling wetting and multiphase flows in highly complex geometries. In this scheme, we harness N + 1-component…
Multiple Equilibria Enables Tunable Wetting of Droplets on Patterned Liquid Surfaces
Xitong Zhang, Hongyu Zhao, Jack R. Panter +4
Patterning solid surfaces with varying wettability is important to manage droplets in microfluidics, heat transfer and printing. Solid surface roughness poses fundamental limitatio…
Phase Field Simulation of Liquid Filling on Grooved Surfaces for Complete, Partial and Pseudo-partial Wetting Cases
Fandi Oktasendra, Arben Jusufi, Andrew R. Konicek +3
We develop and harness a phase field simulation method to study liquid filling on grooved surfaces. We consider both short-range and long-range liquid-solid interactions, with the…
A robust and memory-efficient transition state search method for complex energy landscapes
Samuel J. Avis, Jack R. Panter, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Locating transition states is crucial for investigating transition mechanisms in wide-ranging phenomena, from atomistic to macroscale systems. Existing methods, however, can strugg…
Capillary Bridges on Liquid Infused Surfaces
Alvin C. M. Shek, Ciro Semprebon, Jack R. Panter +1
We numerically study two-component capillary bridges formed when a liquid droplet is placed in between two liquid infused surfaces (LIS). In contrast to commonly studied one-compon…
Factors Controlling the Pinning Force of Liquid Droplets on Liquid Infused Surfaces
Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Jack R. Panter, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Liquid infused surfaces with partially wetting lubricants have recently been exploited for numerous intriguing applications, such as for droplet manipulation, droplet collection an…
Critical pressure asymmetry in the enclosed fluid diode
Jack R. Panter, Yonas Gizaw, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Joint physically and chemically pattered surfaces can provide efficient and passive manipulation of fluid flow. The ability of many of these surfaces to allow only unidirectional f…
Harnessing energy landscape exploration to control the buckling of cylindrical shells
Jack Panter, Junbo Chen, Teng Zhang +1
The complexity and unpredictability of postbuckling responses in even simple thin shells have raised great challenges to emerging technologies exploiting buckling transitions. Here…
Multifaceted design optimisation for superomniphobic surfaces
Jack Panter, Yonas Gizaw, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Superomniphobic textures are at the frontier of surface design for vast arrays of applications. Despite recent significant advances in fabrication methods for reentrant and doubly…
The Impact of Surface Geometry, Cavitation, and Condensation on Wetting Transitions: Posts and Reentrant Structures
Jack R. Panter, Halim Kusumaatmaja
The fundamental impacts of surface geometry on the stability of wetting states, and the transitions between them are elucidated for posts and reentrant structures in both two and t…
