Shapes, forces, and torques of compressed elastic fluid interfaces: beyond axisymmetric configurations
Xinyi Liu, Neelesh A. Patankar, Leroy L. Jia
Inspired by the classical Plateau-Douglas problem for soap films bounded by two closed curves, we solve an analogous problem for fluid interfaces with fixed surface area and resist…
Brownian Dynamics of Fully Confined Suspensions of Rigid Particles Without Green's Functions
Brennan Sprinkle, Aleksandar Donev, Amneet Pal Singh Bhalla +1
We introduce a Rigid-Body Fluctuating Immersed Boundary (RB-FIB) method to perform large-scale Brownian dynamics simulations of suspensions of rigid particles in fully confined dom…
Large Scale Brownian Dynamics of Confined Suspensions of Rigid Particles
B. Sprinkle, F. Balboa Usabiaga, N. A. Patankar +1
We introduce methods for large scale Brownian Dynamics (BD) simulation of many rigid particles of arbitrary shape suspended in a fluctuating fluid. Our method adds Brownian motion…
Thermodynamics of sustaining gases in the roughness of submerged superhydrophobic surfaces
Neelesh A. Patankar
Rough surfaces submerged in a liquid can remain almost dry if the liquid does not fully wet the roughness and gases are sustained in roughness grooves. Such partially dry surfaces…
Sustaining dry surfaces under water
Paul R. Jones, Xiuqing Hao, Eduardo R. Cruz-Chu +9
Rough surfaces immersed under water remain practically dry if the liquid-solid contact is on roughness peaks, while the roughness valleys are filled with gas. Mechanisms that preve…
