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…
Wetting on Silicone Surfaces
Lukas Hauer, Abhinav Naga, Rodrique G. M. Badr +3
Silicone is frequently used as a model system to investigate and tune wetting on soft materials. Silicone is biocompatible and shows excellent thermal, chemical, and UV stability.…
Enhancing condensation on soft substrates through bulk lubricant infusion
Chander Shekhar Sharma, Athanasios Milionis, Abhinav Naga +9
Soft substrates such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) enhance droplet nucleation during the condensation of water vapour, because their deformability inherently reduces the energetic…
