Effect of ambient gas on cavity formation for sphere impacts on liquids
Hollis Williams, James Sprittles, Juan C. Padrino +1
Formation of a splash crown and a cavity following the impact of a sphere on a body of liquid is a classical problem. In the related problem of a droplet splashing on a flat surfac…
Modeling Leidenfrost levitation of soft elastic solids
Jack Binysh, Indrajit Chakraborty, Mykyta V. Chubynsky +4
The elastic Leidenfrost effect occurs when a vaporizable soft solid is lowered onto a hot surface. Evaporative flow couples to elastic deformation, giving spontaneous bouncing or s…
Putting the micro into the macro: A molecularly-augmented hydrodynamic model of dynamic wetting applied to flow instabilities during forced dewetting
Jack S. Keeler, Terence D. Blake, Duncan A. Lockerby +1
We report a molecularly-augmented continuum-based computational model of dynamic wetting and apply it to the displacement of an externally-driven liquid plug between two partially-…
Fluctuation-driven dynamics in nanoscale thin-film flows: physical insights from numerical investigations
Chengxi Zhao, Jingbang Liu, Duncan A. Lockerby +1
The effects of thermal fluctuations on nanoscale flows are captured by a numerical scheme that is underpinned by fluctuating hydrodynamics. A stochastic lubrication equation (SLE)…
An Efficient Moment Method for Modelling Nanoporous Evaporation
Thomas C. De Fraja, Anirudh S. Rana, Ryan Enright +3
Thin-film-based nanoporous membrane technologies exploit evaporation to efficiently cool microscale and nanoscale electronic devices. At these scales, when domain sizes become comp…
