Simulations of Surfactant Spreading
Thin liquid films have been studied extensively because of their interesting mathematical behavior (for instance, [2]) and industrial applications. Films under the influence of surfactants, which lower surface tension in the fluid, exhibit spreading and the formation of capillary ridges. In the experiment I am considering, a ring of surfactant is placed in glycerin, which produces radial propag...
متن کاملWave directional spreading from point field measurements
Ocean waves have multidirectional components. Most wave measurements are taken at a single point, and so fail to capture information about the relative directions of the wave components directly. Conventional means of directional estimation require a minimum of three concurrent time series of measurements at different spatial locations in order to derive information on local directional wave sp...
متن کاملPredicting Surfactant Cloud Point from Molecular Structure
A general empirical relationship has been developed for estimating the cloud point of pure nonionic surfactants of the alkyl ethoxylate class. For a set of 62 structures, composed of linear alkyl, branched alkyl, cyclic alkyl, and alkylphenyl ethoxylates, cloud points can be estimated to an accuracy of ±6.3°C (3.7°C median error) using the logarithm of the number of ethylene oxid...
متن کاملSteering plasmon beam from a point source.
We extend the phase modulation method by in-plane diffractions from plane wave incidence to point source of surface plasmon polariton (SPP). A well-defined SPP focus is successfully realized from a point source under the diffraction by a carefully designed nanohole array, which is easy to layout in the future integrated optical circuits. With this method, the SPP Airy beam and finite plane wave...
متن کاملSurfactant spreading on a thin liquid film: reconcilingmodels and experiments
The spreading dynamics of surfactant molecules on a thin fluid layer is of both fundamental and practical interest. A mathematical model formulated by Gaver and Grotberg [J Fluid Mech 235:399–414, 1992] describing the spreading of a single layer of insoluble surfactant has become widely accepted, and several experiments on axisymmetric spreading have confirmed its predictions for both the heigh...
