Modelling the Dynamics of Partially Wetting Droplets on Fibres
Raymond Christianto, Yudi Rahmawan, Ciro Semprebon +1
We simulate gravity driven dynamics of partially wetting droplets moving along a fibre using the lattice Boltzmann method. For the so-called clamshell morphology, we find three pos…
Apparent Contact Angle of Droplets on Liquid Infused Surfaces: Geometric Interpretation
Ciro Semprebon, Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Glen McHale +1
We theoretically investigate the apparent contact angle of droplets on liquid infused surfaces as a function of the relative size of the wetting ridge and the deposited droplet. We…
Capillary Bridges on Liquid Infused Surfaces
Alvin C. M. Shek, Ciro Semprebon, Jack R. Panter +1
We numerically study two-component capillary bridges formed when a liquid droplet is placed in between two liquid infused surfaces (LIS). In contrast to commonly studied one-compon…
Modelling double emulsion formation in planar flow-focusing microchannels
Ningning Wang, Ciro Semprebon, Haihu Liu +2
Double emulsion formation in a hierarchical flow-focusing channel is systematically investigated using a free energy ternary lattice Boltzmann model. A three dimensional formation…
Modelling ternary fluids in contact with elastic membranes
Marianna Pepona, Alvin C. M. Shek, Ciro Semprebon +2
We present a thermodynamically consistent model of a ternary fluid interacting with elastic membranes. Following a free-energy modelling approach and taking into account the thermo…
Wetting boundaries for ternary high density ratio Lattice Boltzmann Method
Neeru Bala, Marianna Pepona, Ilya Karlin +2
We extend a recently proposed ternary free energy lattice Boltzmann model with high density contrast, by incorporating wetting boundaries at solid walls. The approaches are based o…
