Steric effects in the dynamics of electrolytes at large applied voltages: II. Modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations
Mustafa Sabri Kilic, Martin Z. Bazant, Armand Ajdari
In situations involving large potentials or surface charges, the Poisson Boltzman(PB) equation has shortcomings because it neglects ion-ion interactions and steric effects. This ha…
The stochastic flow rule: A multi-scale model for granular plasticity
Ken Kamrin, Chris H. Rycroft, Martin Z. Bazant
In spite of many attempts to model dense granular flow, there is still no general theory capable of describing different types of flows, such as gravity-driven drainage in silos an…
Steric effects in the dynamics of electrolytes at large applied voltages: I. Double-layer charging
Mustafa Sabri Kilic, Martin Z. Bazant, Armand Ajdari
The classical Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory of electrolytes assumes a dilute solution of point charges with mean-field electrostatic forces. Even for very dilute solutions, however…
Interfacial dynamics in transport-limited dissolution
Martin Z. Bazant
Various model problems of ``transport-limited dissolution'' in two dimensions are analyzed using time-dependent conformal maps. For diffusion-limited dissolution (reverse Laplacian…
Nonlinear electrochemical relaxation around conductors
Kevin T. Chu, Martin Z. Bazant
We analyze the simplest problem of electrochemical relaxation in more than one dimension - the response of an uncharged, ideally polarizable metallic sphere (or cylinder) in a symm…
Analysis of Granular Flow in a Pebble-Bed Nuclear Reactor
Chris H. Rycroft, Gary S. Grest, James W. Landry +1
Pebble-bed nuclear reactor technology, which is currently being revived around the world, raises fundamental questions about dense granular flow in silos. A typical reactor core is…
