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…

Understanding the Dynamics of Evaporation-Driven Colloidal Self-Assembly
Junyu Yang, Abhinav Naga, Xitong Zhang +1
Complex colloidal cluster morphologies are desirable for the fabrication of advanced materials, such as photonic crystals and meta-materials, and can be formed through evaporation-…

Modelling droplet-particle interactions on solid surfaces by coupling the lattice Boltzmann and discrete element methods
Abhinav Naga, Xitong Zhang, Junyu Yang +1
We develop a three-dimensional numerical scheme for investigating interfacial flows coupled with frictional solid particles. Our approach combines the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM…
