Influence of Cavity Geometry on the Bubble Dynamics of Nucleate Pool Boiling
M. S. Whiting, W. J. van den Bergh, P. E. Theodorakis +1
Nucleate pool boiling is known for its exceptional heat transfer coefficients, with the use of cavities further improving bubble nucleation and heat transfer rate. To promote this…
Durotaxis and antidurotaxis droplet motion onto gradient gel-substrates
R. Kajouri, P. E. Theodorakis, A. Milchev
The self-sustained motion of fluids on gradient substrates is a spectacular phenomenon, which can be employed and controlled in applications by carefully engineering the substrate…
Surfactant-laden liquid thread breakup driven by thermal fluctuations
L. H. Carnevale, P. Deuar, Z. Che +1
The breakup of liquid threads into droplets is crucial in various applications, such as nanoprinting, nanomanufacturing, and inkjet printing, where a detailed understanding of the…
Antidurotaxis Droplet Motion onto Gradient Brush Substrates
Russell Kajouri, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Jan Židek +1
Durotaxis motion is a spectacular phenomenon manifesting itself by the autonomous motion of a nano-object between parts of a substrate with different stiffness. This motion usually…
Multiscale Simulation of Fluids: Coupling Molecular and Continuum
Edward R. Smith, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis
Computer simulation is an important tool for scientific progress, especially when lab experiments are either extremely costly and difficult or lack the required resolution. However…
Liquid Thread Breakup and the Formation of Satellite Droplets
Luís H. Carnevale, Piotr Deuar, Zhizhao Che +1
The breakup of liquid threads into smaller droplets is a fundamental problem in fluid dynamics. In this study, we estimate the characteristic wavelength of the breakup process by m…
