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…
The effects of packing structure on the effective thermal conductivity of granular media: A grain scale investigation
Weijing Dai, Dorian Hanaor, Yixiang Gan
Structural characteristics are considered to be the dominant factors in determining the effective properties of granular media, particularly in the scope of transport phenomena. To…
Dynamics of Viscous Entrapped Saturated Zones in Partially Wetted Porous Media
Shuoqi Li, Mingchao Liu, Dorian Hanaor +1
As a typical multiphase fluid flow process, drainage in porous media is of fundamental interest in nature and industrial applications. During drainage processes in unsaturated soil…
Dynamic contact angle hysteresis in liquid bridges
Zhang Shi, Yi Zhang, Mingchao Liu +2
This work presents a combined experimental and theoretical study of dynamic contact angle hysteresis using liquid bridges under cyclic compression and stretching between two identi…
A Thermal Discrete Element Analysis of EU Solid Breeder Blanket subjected to Neutron Irradiation
Yixiang Gan, Francisco Hernandez, Dorian Hanaor +3
Due to neutron irradiation, solid breeder blankets are subjected to complex thermo-mechanical conditions. Within one breeder unit, the ceramic breeder bed is composed of spherical-…
Experimental and numerical determination of mechanical properties of polygonal wood particles and their flow analysis in silos
Fernando Alonso-Marroquín, Álvaro Ramírez-Gómez, Carlos González-Montellano +6
Responding to a lack in the literature, mechanical properties of polygonal wood particles are determined for use in a discrete element model (DEM) for flow analysis in silos, and s…
Effects of surface structure deformation on static friction at fractal interfaces
Dorian A H Hanaor, Yixiang Gan, Itai Einav
The evolution of fractal surface structures with flattening of asperities was investigated using isotropically roughened aluminium surfaces loaded in compression. It was found that…
