Liquid morphologies and capillary forces between three spherical beads
Ciro Semprebon, Mario Scheel, Stephan Herminghaus +2
Equilibrium shapes of coalesced pendular bridges in a static assembly of spherical beads are computed by numerical minimization of the interfacial energy. Our present study focuses…
Ternary Free Energy Lattice Boltzmann Model with Tunable Surface Tensions and Contact Angles
Ciro Semprebon, Timm Krüger, Halim Kusumaatmaja
We present a new ternary free energy lattice Boltzmann model. The distinguishing feature of our model is that we are able to analytically derive and independently vary all fluid-fl…
The Role of Contact Angle Hysteresis for Fluid Transport in Wet Granular Matter
Roman Mani, Ciro Semprebon, Dirk Kadau +3
The stability of sand castles is determined by the structure of wet granulates. Experimental data about the size distribution of fluid pockets are ambiguous about their origin. We…
Filling transitions on rough surfaces: inadequacy of Gaussian surface models
Renaud Dufour, Ciro Semprebon, Stephan Herminghaus
We present numerical studies of wetting on various topographic substrates, including random topographies. We find good agreement with recent predictions based on an analytical inte…
