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…

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…
