Drying and percolation in spatially correlated porous media
Soumyajyoti Biswas, Paolo Fantinel, Oshri Borgman +2
We study how the dynamics of a drying front propagating through a porous medium are affected by small-scale correlations in material properties. For this, we first present drying e…
Validating pore-scale models of drying using microfluidic experiments
Paolo Fantinel, Oshri Borgman, Ran Holtzman +1
We present an experimental micro-model of drying porous media, based on microfluidic cells made of arrays of pillars on a regular grid, and complement these experiments with a matc…
Impact of spatially correlated pore-scale heterogeneity on drying porous media
Oshri Borgman, Paolo Fantinel, Wieland Lühder +2
We study the effect of spatially-correlated heterogeneity on isothermal drying of porous media. We combine a minimal pore-scale model with microfluidic experiments with the same po…
Stick-Slip Sliding of Water Drops on Chemically Heterogeneous Surfaces
Silvia Varagnolo, Davide Ferraro, Paolo Fantinel +5
We present a comprehensive study of water drops sliding down chemically heterogeneous surfaces formed by a periodic pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. Drop…
