Nanoscale Surfactant Transport: Bridging Molecular and Continuum Models
Muhammad Rizwanur Rahman, James P. Ewen, Li Shen +3
Surfactant transport is central to a diverse range of natural phenomena, and for many practical applications in physics and engineering. Surprisingly, this process remains relative…
Life and Death of a Thin Liquid Film
Muhammad Rizwanur Rahman, Li Shen, James P. Ewen +3
Thin films, bubbles and membranes are central to numerous natural and engineering processes, i.e., in thin-film solar cells, coatings, biosensors, electrowetting displays, foams, a…
Thin Film Rupture from the Atomic Scale
Muhammad Rizwanur Rahman, Li Shen, James P. Ewen +4
The retraction of thin films, as described by the Taylor-Culick (TC) theory, is subject to widespread debate, particularly for films at the nanoscale. We use non-equilibrium molecu…
The Intrinsic Fragility of the Liquid-Vapor Interface: A Stress Network Perspective
Muhammad Rizwanur Rahman, Li Shen, James P. Ewen +2
The evolution of the liquid-vapour interface of a Lennard-Jones fluid is examined with molecular dynamics simulations using the intrinsic sampling method. Results suggest, in agree…
Transient structures in rupturing thin-films: Marangoni-induced symmetry-breaking pattern formation in viscous fluids
Li Shen, Fabian Denner, Neal Morgan +2
In the minutes immediately preceeding the rupture of a soap bubble, distinctive and repeatable patterns can be observed. These quasi-stable transient structures are associated with…
Capillary waves with surface viscosity
Li Shen, Fabian Denner, Neal Morgan +2
Experiments over the last 50 years have suggested a tentative correlation between the surface (shear) viscosity and the stability of a foam or emulsion. We examine this link theore…
