Minkowski functionals for phase behavior under confinement
Arnout M P Boelens, Hamdi A Tchelepi
In this work, the Minkowski functionals are used as a framework to study how morphology (i.e. the shape of a structure) and topology (i.e. how different structures are connected) i…
Tensor methods for the Boltzmann-BGK equation
Arnout Boelens, Daniele Venturi, Daniel Tartakovsky
We present a tensor-decomposition method to solve the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook approximation. The method represents the six-dimensional BTE a…
Simulations of splashing high and low viscosity droplets
Arnout M. P. Boelens, Juan J. de Pablo
In this work simulations are presented of low viscosity ethanol and high viscosity silicone oil droplets impacting on a dry solid surface at atmospheric and reduced ambient pressur…
Parallel numerical tensor methods for high-dimensional PDEs
A. M. P. Boelens, D. Venturi, D. M. Tartakovsky
High-dimensional partial-differential equations (PDEs) arise in a number of fields of science and engineering, where they are used to describe the evolution of joint probability fu…
Drop splashing is independent of substrate wetting
Andrzej Latka, Arnout M. P. Boelens, Sidney R. Nagel +1
A liquid drop impacting a dry solid surface with sufficient kinetic energy will splash, breaking apart into numerous secondary droplets. This phenomenon shows many similarities to…
Generalized Navier Boundary Condition for a Volume Of Fluid approach using a Finite-Volume method
A. M. P. Boelens, J. J. de Pablo
In this work, an analytical Volume Of Fluid (VOF) implementation of the Generalized Navier Boundary Condition is presented based on the Brackbill surface tension model. The model i…
Observation of the pressure effect in simulations of droplets splashing on a dry surface
A. M. P. Boelens, A. Latka, J. J. de Pablo
At atmospheric pressure, a drop of ethanol impacting on a solid surface produces a splash. Reducing the ambient pressure below its atmospheric value suppresses this splash. The ori…
Rotational relaxation time as unifying time scale for polymer and fiber drag reduction
A. M. P. Boelens, M. Muthukumar
Using hybrid Direct Numerical Simulation with Langevin dynamics, a comparison is performed between polymer and fiber stress tensors in turbulent flow. The stress tensors are found…
