Beyond capillary condensation: Shear-induced bridging transitions in patterned slits
Alexandr Malijevský, Andrew O. Parry, Jiří Janek
We study the equilibrium phase behavior of a fluid confined in a slit made from two patterned walls. Shearing the walls frustrates the fluid, due to a competition between capillary…
Complete Wetting and Drying at Sinusoidal Walls
Alexandr Malijevský, Martin PospÃÅ¡il, Miriam MagoÄiová +1
We investigate complete wetting and drying at sinusoidally corrugated solid walls, focusing on the effects of wall geometry and interaction range. Two distinct interaction models a…
Capillary condensation between parallel walls of unequal length
Alexandr Malijevský
We present a macroscopic theory of capillary condensation in slits formed by parallel walls of unequal length. Using the concept of an edge contact angle, we identify four distinct…
Three types of condensation in open wedges
JiÅà Janek, Alexandr Malijevský
Condensation in linear wedges formed by semi-infinite walls is a well-established critical phenomenon characterized by the continuous growth of an adsorbed liquid layer as bulk two…
Asymptotic properties of bridging transitions in sinusoidally-shaped slits
Alexandr Malijevský, Martin PospÃÅ¡il
We study bridging transitions that emerge between two sinusoidally-shaped walls of amplitude , wavenumber , and mean separation . The focus is on weakly corrugated walls t…
