A 3D sharp and conservative VOF method for modeling the contact line dynamics with hysteresis on complex boundaries
Chong-Sen Huang, Tian-Yang Han, Jie Zhang +1
We propose a sharp and conservative 3D numerical method for simulating moving contact lines on complex geometries, developed within a coupled geometric Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) and em…

Magnetic modulation of flow reversals in liquid metal thermal convection
Yan-Wu Cao, Ming-Zhu Ai, Long Chen +2
Flow reversals are rarely observed in low-Prandtl-number liquid metal convection due to the fluid's exceptionally high thermal diffusivity. Here, we demonstrate that an external tr…

Experimental investigation of a novel liquid metal plasma facing component with pre-filled microstructures
Yi-Jun Wang, Kai-Lun Li, Rui-Zhi Chen +4
Regarding the plasma facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion, liquid metal PFCs with stable free surface flow on PFC surface are considered a promising alternative. However, due…
