Variational approach to droplet motion on uneven solid surfaces, including contact line dynamics and evaporation
Gyula I Tóth, David N Sibley, Agnes J Bokányi-Tóth +2
We show how dynamical equations for liquid films and drops on uneven surfaces, including contact line dynamics and evaporation/condensation effects, may be formulated as a variatio…
Coexisting multiphase and interfacial behaviour of ouzo
David N. Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard, Fouzia F. Ouali +2
Multi-component liquid mixtures can be both complex and fascinating, with some systems being amenable to simple experimentation at home, giving valuable insight into fundamental as…
Hydrodynamic density-functional theory for the moving contact-line problem reveals fluid structure and emergence of a spatially distinct pattern
Andreas Nold, Benjamin D. Goddard, David N. Sibley +1
Understanding the nanoscale effects controlling the dynamics of a contact line -- defined as the line formed at the junction of two fluid phases and a solid -- has been a longstand…
Dynamics of particle aggregation in dewetting films of complex liquids
J. Zhang, D. N. Sibley, D. Tseluiko +1
We consider the dynamic wetting and dewetting processes of films and droplets of complex liquids on planar surfaces, focusing on the case of colloidal suspensions, where the partic…
Experimental and Theoretical Bulk Phase Diagram and Interfacial Tension of Ouzo
Andrew J. Archer, Benjamin D. Goddard, David N. Sibley +4
Ouzo is a well-known drink in Mediterranean countries, with ingredients water, alcohol and trans-anethole oil. The oil is insoluble in water, but completely soluble in alcohol, so…
Rounded Layering Transitions on the Surface of Ice
Pablo Llombart, Eva G. Noya, David N. Sibley +2
Understanding the wetting properties of premelting films requires knowledge of the film's equation of state, which is not usually available. Here we calculate the disjoining pressu…
How ice grows from premelting films and water droplets
David N. Sibley, Pablo Llombart, Eva G. Noya +2
Close to the triple point, the surface of ice is covered by a thin liquid layer (so-called quasi-liquid layer) which crucially impacts growth and melting rates. Experimental probes…
Binding potentials for vapour nanobubbles on surfaces using density functional theory
Hanyu Yin, David N. Sibley, Andrew J. Archer
We calculate density profiles of a simple model fluid in contact with a planar surface using density functional theory (DFT), in particular for the case where there is a vapour lay…
The pressure tensor across a liquid-vapour interface
Carlos Braga, Edward Smith, Andreas Nold +2
Inhomogeneous fluids exhibit physical properties that are neither uniform nor isotropic. The pressure tensor is a case in point, key to the mechanical description of the interfacia…
Films, layers and droplets: The effect of near-wall fluid structure on spreading dynamics
Hanyu Yin, David N. Sibley, Uwe Thiele +1
We present a study of the spreading of liquid droplets on a solid substrate at very small scales. We focus on the regime where effective wetting energy (binding potential) and surf…
Nanoscale fluid structure of liquid-solid-vapour contact lines for a wide range of contact angles
Andreas Nold, David N. Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard +1
We study the nanoscale behaviour of the density of a simple fluid in the vicinity of an equilibrium contact line for a wide range of Young contact angles between 40 and 135 degrees…
Fluid structure in the immediate vicinity of an equilibrium three-phase contact line and assessment of disjoining pressure models using density functional theory
Andreas Nold, David N. Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard +1
We examine the nanoscale behavior of an equilibrium three-phase contact line in the presence of long-ranged intermolecular forces by employing a statistical mechanics of fluids app…
The contact line behaviour of solid-liquid-gas diffuse-interface models
David N. Sibley, Andreas Nold, Nikos Savva +1
A solid-liquid-gas moving contact line is considered through a diffuse-interface model with the classical boundary condition of no-slip at the solid surface. Examination of the asy…
A comparison of slip, disjoining pressure, and interface formation models for contact line motion through asymptotic analysis of thin two-dimensional droplet spreading
David N. Sibley, Andreas Nold, Nikos Savva +1
The motion of a contact line is examined, and comparisons drawn, for a variety of models proposed in the literature. Pressure and stress behaviours at the contact line are examined…
On the moving contact line singularity: Asymptotics of a diffuse-interface model
David N. Sibley, Andreas Nold, Nikos Savva +1
The behaviour of a solid-liquid-gas system near the three-phase contact line is considered using a diffuse-interface model with no-slip at the solid and where the fluid phase is sp…
Slip or not slip? A methodical examination of the interface formation model using two-dimensional droplet spreading on a horizontal planar substrate as a prototype system
David N. Sibley, Nikos Savva, Serafim Kalliadasis
We consider the spreading of a thin two-dimensional droplet on a planar substrate as a prototype system to compare the contemporary model for contact line motion based on interface…
