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…
Topology Controls the Phase Separation Dynamics of Many Component Fluid Mixtures
Michael Rennick, Xitong Zhang, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Fluid mixtures, ranging from the cellular cytoplasm to synthetic DNA nanostar systems, can spontaneously compartmentalize into many () coexisting liquid phases through liquid-li…
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…
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-…
Encoding strategies for quantum enhanced fluid simulations: opportunities and challenges
Omer Rathore, Alastair Basden, Nicholas Chancellor +1
Quantum computing has emerged as a powerful potential accelerator for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), but whether this promise can be realized in practice depends on how fluid…
