Capillary filling with wall corrugations] Capillary filling in microchannels with wall corrugations: A comparative study of the Concus-Finn criterion by continuum, kinetic and atomistic approaches

S. Chibbaro, E. Costa, D. Dimitrov +5

We study the impact of wall corrugations in microchannels on the process of capillary filling by means of three broadly used methods - Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Lattice-B…

Hydrokinetic simulations of nanoscopic precursor films in rough channels

S. Chibbaro, L. Biferale, K. Binder +4

We report on simulations of capillary filling of high-wetting fluids in nano-channels with and without obstacles. We use atomistic (molecular dynamics) and hydrokinetic (lattice-Bo…

Capillary filling with randomly coated walls

Fabiana Diotallevi, Andrea Puglisi, Antonio Lamura +1

The motion of an air-fluid interface through an irregularly coated capillary is studied by analysing the Lucas-Washburn equation with a random capillary force. The pinning probabil…

Evidence of thin-film precursors formation in hydrokinetic and atomistic simulations of nano-channel capillary filling

S. Chibbaro, L. Biferale, F. Diotallevi +6

We present hydrokinetic Lattice Boltzmann and Molecular Dynamics simulations of capillary filling of high-wetting fluids in nano-channels, which provide clear evidence of the forma…

Front pinning in capillary filling of chemically coated channels

F. Diotallevi, L. Biferale, S. Chibbaro +2

The dynamics of capillary filling in the presence of chemically coated heterogeneous boundaries is investigated, both theoretically and numerically. In particular, by mapping the e…
