Minimum current for detachment of electrolytic bubbles
Yixin Zhang, Detlef Lohse
The efficiency of water electrolysis is significantly impacted by the generation of micro- and nanobubbles on the electrodes. Here molecular dynamics simulations are used to invest…
Capillary nanowaves on surfactant-laden liquid films with surface viscosity and elasticity
Yixin Zhang, Zijing Ding
Thermal motions of molecules can generate nanowaves on the free surface of a liquid film. As nanofilms are susceptible to the contamination of surfactants, this work investigates t…
Slip-enhanced Rayleigh-Plateau instability of a liquid film on a fibre
Chengxi Zhao, Yixin Zhang, Ting Si
Boundary conditions at a liquid-solid interface are crucial to dynamics of a liquid film coated on a fibre. Here a theoretical framework based on axisymmetric Stokes equations is d…
Relaxation of Thermal Capillary Waves for Nanoscale Liquid Films on Anisotropic-slip Substrates
Yixin Zhang, Duncan A. Lockerby, James E. Sprittles
The relaxation dynamics of thermal capillary waves for nanoscale liquid films on anisotropic-slip substrates are investigated, using both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a…
Thermal Capillary Wave Growth and Surface Roughening of Nanoscale Liquid Films
Yixin Zhang, James E. Sprittles, Duncan A. Lockerby
The well-known thermal capillary wave theory, which describes the capillary spectrum of the free surface of a liquid film, does not reveal the transient dynamics of surface waves,…
