Controlling the dynamics of an electric-field-driven droplet on a lubricant-infused micropillar surface

Geng Wang, Junyu Yang, Timan Lei +4

As a non-contact control approach, electric field (EF) can be utilised to drive droplet dynamics on a lubricant-infused surface (LIS), with numerous potential applications ranging…

When and how particles are removed by drops

Abhinav Naga, Franziska Sabath, Doris Vollmer +1

Particulate contaminants decrease the power output of solar panels, the transparency of windows, and are detrimental to microelectronics, where even a single particle can induce a…

N-Component Free Energy Lattice Boltzmann Method with Reduction Consistency and Global Momentum Conservation

Michael Rennick, Xitong Zhang, Tim Niklas Bingert +2

We present a free energy lattice Boltzmann model capable of simulating fluid systems with an arbitrary number of immiscible components in principle. Our method is strictly reductio…

Stretching and Compressing Capillary Bridges on Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic, and Liquid-infused Surfaces

Sarah Jane Goodband, Ke Sun, Kislon Voïtchovsky +1

Aqueous capillary liquid bridges are ubiquitous in nature and in technological processes. Here, we comparatively investigate capillary bridges formed between three distinct types o…
