Turning Porous Functional Materials into Directional Transport Platforms with Unidirectional Surface Acoustic Waves
Sujith Jayakumar, Jinan Parathi, Gideon Onuh +3
Porous media underpin absorption, filtration, separation, and high-area interfacial transport in chemical and diagnostic systems, yet sustained directional flow through them remain…
Using surface acoustic waves to drive thin film flow over an obstacle
Yifan Li, Mark Fasano, Avital R. Einhorn +4
We study a new paradigm for ultrasonic driven object coating by using a model system where MHz-level surface acoustic waves (SAWs) drive the spreading of a silicone oil film atop t…
Using wetting and ultrasonic waves to extract oil from oil/water mixtures
Yifan Li, Jesus M. Marcos, Mark Fasano +4
Oil and water placed atop of a solid surface respond differently to a MHz-level surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating in the solid due to their different surface wetting properti…
Modeling the dynamics of an oil drop driven by a surface acoustic wave in the underlying substrate
M. Fasano, Y. Li, J. A. Diez +4
We present a theoretical study, supported by simulations and experiments, on the spreading of a silicone oil drop under MHz-frequency surface acoustic wave (SAW) excitation in the…
Monte-Carlo based model for the extraction of oil from oil-water mixtures using wetting and surface acoustic waves
Jesús. M. Marcos, Yifan Li, Mark Fasano +4
This work presents a Monte Carlo (MC) based microscopic model for simulating the extraction of oil from oil-in-water emulsions under the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAWs).…
