On the problem of optimal fluid transport in capillaries
Mathis Fricke, Clara Bernklau, Elisabeth Diehl +3
In this note, we revisit the problem of the pressure-driven transport of a meniscus through a narrow cylindrical capillary or pore. This generic process finds many applications in…
An analytical study of capillary rise dynamics: Critical conditions and hidden oscillations
Mathis Fricke, El Assad Ouro-Koura, Suraj Raju +3
The rise of a liquid column inside a thin capillary against the action of gravity is a prototypical example of a dynamic wetting process and plays an important role for application…
How heterogeneous wettability enhances boiling
J. C. Fernandez Toledano, J. De Coninck, F. Dunlop +1
For super-heated water on a substrate with hydrophobic patches immersed in a hydrophilic matrix, one can choose the temperature so that micro-bubbles will form, grow and merge on t…
Is superhydrophobicity robust with respect to disorder?
Joël De Coninck, François Dunlop, Thierry Huillet
We consider theoretically the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states describing the wetting contact angles for rough substrates. More precisely, we consider different types of periodic ge…
Random walk versus random line
Joel De Coninck, Francois Dunlop, Thierry Huillet
We consider random walks X_n in Z+, obeying a detailed balance condition, with a weak drift towards the origin when X_n tends to infinity. We reconsider the equivalence in law betw…
Correlations of a bound interface over a random substrate
Joël De Coninck, François Dunlop, Thierry Huillet
The correlation function of a one-dimensional interface over a random substrate, bound to the substrate by a pressure term, is studied by Monte-Carlo simulation. It is found that t…
A necklace of Wulff shapes
Joël De Coninck, François Dunlop, Thierry Huillet
In a probabilistic model of a film over a disordered substrate, Monte-Carlo simulations show that the film hangs from peaks of the substrate. The film profile is well approximated…
On the Statistical Mechanics and Surface Tensions of Binary Mixtures
Jean Ruiz, Joël De Coninck, Salvador Miracle-Sole
Within a lattice model describing a binary mixture with fixed concentrations of the species we discuss the relation-ship between the surface tension of the mixture and the concentr…
Intrinsic friction of adsorbed monolayers
O. Benichou, A. M. Cazabat, J. De Coninck +2
In the present paper we overview our recent results on intrinsic frictional properties of adsorbed monolayers, composed of mobile hard-core particles undergoing continuous exchange…
Force-velocity relation and density profiles for biased diffusion in an adsorbed monolayer
O. Benichou, A. M. Cazabat, J. De Coninck +2
In this paper, which completes our earlier short publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 511 (2000)], we study dynamics of a hard-core tracer particle (TP) performing a biased random wal…
Dewetting, partial wetting and spreading of a two-dimensional monolayer on solid surface
G. Oshanin, J. De Coninck, A. M. Cazabat +1
We study the behavior of a semi-infinite monolayer, which is placed initially on a half of an infinite in both directions, ideal crystalline surface, and then evolves in time due t…
Dynamics of a driven probe molecule in a liquid monolayer
J. De Coninck, G. Oshanin, M. Moreau
We study dynamics of a probe molecule, driven by an external constant force in a liquid monolayer on top of solid surface. In terms of a microscopic, mean-field-type approach, we c…
Direct Energy Transfer in Systems of Polymerized Acceptors
G. Oshanin, J. De Coninck, A. Blumen +2
We study the direct incoherent energy transfer from an immobile excited donor molecule to acceptor molecules, which are all attached to polymer chains, randomly arranged in a visco…
