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…
Geometry-induced phase transition in fluids: capillary prewetting
Petr Yatsyshin, Nikos Savva, Serafim Kalliadasis
We report a new first-order phase transition preceding capillary condensation and corresponding to the discontinuous formation of a curved liquid meniscus. Using a mean-field micro…
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…
Generalized dynamical density functional theory for classical fluids and the significance of inertia and hydrodynamic interactions
Benjamin D. Goddard, Andreas Nold, Nikos Savva +2
We study the dynamics of a colloidal fluid including inertia and hydrodynamic interactions, two effects which strongly influence the non-equilibrium properties of the system. We de…
