Using surface acoustic waves to drive thin film flow over an obstacle
Yifan Li, Mark Fasano, Avital R. Einhorn +4
We study a new paradigm for ultrasonic driven object coating by using a model system where MHz-level surface acoustic waves (SAWs) drive the spreading of a silicone oil film atop t…
Monte-Carlo based model for the extraction of oil from oil-water mixtures using wetting and surface acoustic waves
Jesús. M. Marcos, Yifan Li, Mark Fasano +4
This work presents a Monte Carlo (MC) based microscopic model for simulating the extraction of oil from oil-in-water emulsions under the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAWs).…
Using wetting and ultrasonic waves to extract oil from oil/water mixtures
Yifan Li, Jesus M. Marcos, Mark Fasano +4
Oil and water placed atop of a solid surface respond differently to a MHz-level surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating in the solid due to their different surface wetting properti…
Using Thermal Crowding to Direct Pattern Formation on the Nanoscale
Ryan H. Allaire, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
Metal films and other geometries of nanoscale thickness, when exposed to laser irradiation, melt and evolve as fluids as long as their temperature is sufficiently high. This evolut…
Dielectrowetting of a thin nematic liquid crystal layer
Ensela Mema, Lou Kondic, Linda J. Cummings
We consider a mathematical model that describes the flow of a Nematic Liquid Crystal (NLC) film placed on a flat substrate, across which a spatially-varying electric potential is a…
Oscillatory thermocapillary instability of a film heated by a thick substrate
William Batson, Linda J. Cummings, David Shirokoff +1
In this work we consider a new class of oscillatory instabilities that pertain to thermocapillary destabilization of a liquid film heated by a solid substrate. We assume the substr…
Modelling spreading dynamics of liquid crystals in three spatial dimensions
Te-Sheng Lin, Lou Kondic, Uwe Thiele +1
We study spreading dynamics of nematic liquid crystal droplets within the framework of the long-wave approximation. A fourth order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation…
