Programmable Active Janus Droplets Driven by Water/Alcohol Phase Separation
Menglin Li, Martin Brinkmann, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +2
We report the existence of self-propelled Janus droplets driven by phase separation, which are able to deliver cargo in a programmable manner. The self-propelling droplets are init…
Stochastic Rotation Dynamics simulations of wetting multi-phase flows
Thomas Hiller, Marta Sanchez de La Lama, Martin Brinkmann
Multi-color Stochastic Rotation Dynamics (SRDmc) has been introduced by Inoue et al. as a particle based simulation method to study the flow of emulsion droplets in non-wetting mic…
Liquid morphologies and capillary forces between three spherical beads
Ciro Semprebon, Mario Scheel, Stephan Herminghaus +2
Equilibrium shapes of coalesced pendular bridges in a static assembly of spherical beads are computed by numerical minimization of the interfacial energy. Our present study focuses…
The Role of Contact Angle Hysteresis for Fluid Transport in Wet Granular Matter
Roman Mani, Ciro Semprebon, Dirk Kadau +3
The stability of sand castles is determined by the structure of wet granulates. Experimental data about the size distribution of fluid pockets are ambiguous about their origin. We…
Slip-Mediated Dewetting of Polymer Microdroplets
Joshua D. McGraw, Tak Shing Chan, Simon Maurer +5
Classical hydrodynamic models predict that infinite work is required to move a three-phase contact line, defined here as the line where a liquid/vapor interface intersects a solid…
Arrest stress of uniformly sheared wet granular matter
S. H. Ebrahimnazhad Rahbari, M. Brinkmann, J. Vollmer
We conduct extensive independent numerical experiments considering frictionless disks without internal degrees of freedom (rotation etc.) in two dimensions. We report here that for…
