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…

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).…
