Contact angle selection for interfaces in growing domains
We study interfaces in an Allen-Cahn equation, separating two metastable states. Our focus is on a directional quenching scenario, where a parameter renders the system bistable in a half plane and monostable in its complement, with the region of bistability expanding at a fixed speed. We show that the growth mechanism selects a contact angle between the boundary of the region of bistability and...
متن کاملContact angle hysteresis: a different view and a trivial recipe for low hysteresis hydrophobic surfaces.
Contact angle hysteresis is addressed from two perspectives. The first is an analysis of the events that occur during motion of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces. Hysteresis is discussed in terms of receding contact line pinning and the tensile failure of capillary bridges. The sign of the curvature of the solid surface is implicated as playing a key role. The second is the report of a new ...
متن کاملA new angle on microscopic suspension feeders near boundaries.
Microscopic sessile suspension feeders are a critical component in aquatic ecosystems, acting as an intermediate trophic stage between bacteria and higher eukaryotic taxa. Because they live attached to boundaries, it has long been thought that recirculation of the feeding currents produced by sessile suspension feeders inhibits their ability to access fresh fluid. However, previous models for t...
متن کاملParthenium: a wide angle view.
Parthenium hysterophorus L. (congress grass, congress weed, carrot weed, wild feverfew, the “Scourge of India”) is an exotic weed that was accidentally introduced in India in 1956 through imported food grains.[1] It has become a common weed causing dermatitis of epidemic proportions.[2] The epithet “congress weed” refers to the US congress (who allocated the shipment for Pune, India).[3] In Pun...
متن کاملFrustum View Angle, Observer View Angle and VE Navigation
The issue of screen size is discussed with respect to the task of navigating in 3D computer graphics environments. Two variables are isolated, the observer’s visual field of view (observer VA) subtended by a screen, and the viewing frustum angle (frustum VA) determined by the computer graphics geometry. It is possible to have these set to be identical, which according to one hypothesis should l...
