Phase-bounded finite element method for two-fluid incompressible flow systems
Tanyakarn Treeratanaphitak, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
An understanding of the hydrodynamics of multiphase processes is essential for their design and operation. Multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations enable research…
Diffuse-Interface Blended Method for Imposing Physical Boundaries in Two-Fluid Flows
Tanyakarn Treeratanaphitak, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Multiphase flows are commonly found in chemical engineering processes such as distillation columns, bubble columns, fluidized beds and heat exchangers. The physical boundaries of d…
Chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics in the phase transformation of nematic droplets
Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Dynamic simulations of the isotropic-nematic phase transformation of liquid crystal droplets under homeotropic anchoring are found to predict chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics. The…
Formation and field-driven dynamics of nematic spheroids
Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Emerging technologies based on liquid crystal (LC) materials increasingly leverage the presence of nanoscale defects, unlike the canonical application of LCs -- LC displays. The in…
Automated quantification of one-dimensional nanostructure alignment on surfaces
Jianjin Dong, Irene A. Goldthorpe, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
A method for automated quantification of the alignment of one-dimensional nanostructures from microscopy imaging is presented. Nanostructure alignment metrics are formulated and sh…
Field-driven dynamics of nematic microcapillaries
Pouya Khayyatzadeh, Fred Fu, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) composites have long been a focus of study for their unique electro-optical properties which have resulted in various applications such as s…
