The microscopic origin of droplet line tension
Franziska Aurbach, Fei Wang, Britta Nestler
The size dependence of the equilibrium droplet contact angle is governed by line tension. In this work, we identify a contribution to line tension arising from gravitational effect…
Slip and friction at fluid-solid interfaces: Concept of adsorption layer
Haodong Zhang, Fei Wang, Britta Nestler
When a fluid flows past a solid surface, its macroscopic motion arises from a subtle interplay between microscopic hydrodynamic and thermodynamic effects at the fluid-solid interfa…
Breakup of liquid jets: Thermodynamic perspectives
Fei Wang, Oleg Tschukin, Thomas Leisner +2
Breakup of a liquid jet into a chain of droplets is common in nature and industry. Previous researchers developed profound mathematic and fluid dynamic models to address this break…
Brownian motion of droplets induced by thermal noise
Haodong Zhang, Fei Wang, Lorenz Ratke +1
Brownian motion (BM) is pivotal in natural science for the stochastic motion of microscopic droplets. In this study, we investigate BM driven by thermal composition noise at sub-mi…
Description of hard sphere crystals and crystal-fluid interfaces: a critical comparison between density functional approaches and a phase field crystal model
M. Oettel, S. Dorosz, M. Berghoff +2
In materials science the phase field crystal approach has become popular to model crystallization processes. Phase field crystal models are in essence Landau-Ginzburg-type models,…
Phase Field Modeling of Fracture and Stress Induced Phase Transitions
R. Spatschek, C. Mueller-Gugenberger, E. Brener +1
We present a continuum theory to describe elastically induced phase transitions between coherent solid phases. In the limit of vanishing elastic constants in one of the phases, the…
