Capillary-driven migration of droplets on conical fibers
Yixiao Mao, Chengxi Zhao, Kai Mu +2
A droplet placed on a hydrophilic conical fiber tends to move toward the end of larger radii due to capillary action. Experimental investigations are performed to explore the dynam…

Fluctuation-driven dynamics in nanoscale thin-film flows: physical insights from numerical investigations
Chengxi Zhao, Jingbang Liu, Duncan A. Lockerby +1
The effects of thermal fluctuations on nanoscale flows are captured by a numerical scheme that is underpinned by fluctuating hydrodynamics. A stochastic lubrication equation (SLE)…
