Wetting hysteresis induced by nanodefects.
Wetting of actual surfaces involves diverse hysteretic phenomena stemming from ever-present imperfections. Here, we clarify the origin of wetting hysteresis for a liquid front advancing or receding across an isolated defect of nanometric size. Various kinds of chemical and topographical nanodefects, which represent salient features of actual heterogeneous surfaces, are investigated. The most pr...
متن کاملAveraging Principle for Differential Equations with Hysteresis
The goal of this paper is to extend the averaging technique to new classes of hysteresis operators and oscillating functions as well as to bring more consistency into the exposition. In the first part of the paper, making accent on polyhedral vector sweeping processes, we keep in mind possible applications to the queueing theory where these processes arise naturally. In the second part we conce...
متن کاملThe Role of Partial Internal Wetting in Hysteresis Behavior of Catalyst Pellet
The phenomenon of capillary condensation is studied through the weight change of condensed phase in an internally wetted porous pd catalyst pellet during the course of exothermic reacation of cyclohexane hydrogenation in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The direct measurement of condensed phase indicates that evaporation of condensed phase is confined to the macropores of catalyst pellet at ...
متن کاملRoughness of moving elastic lines: crack and wetting fronts.
We investigate propagating fronts in disordered media that belong to the universality class of wetting contact lines and planar tensile crack fronts. We derive from first principles their nonlinear equations of motion, using the generalized Griffith criterion for crack fronts and three standard mobility laws for contact lines. Then we study their roughness using the self-consistent expansion. W...
متن کاملRegularization schemes for degenerate Richards equations and outflow conditions
We analyze regularization schemes for the Richards equation and a time discrete numerical approximation. The original equations can be doubly degenerate, therefore they may exhibit fast and slow diffusion. Additionally, we treat outflow conditions that model an interface separating the porous medium from a free flow domain. In both situations we provide a regularization with a non-degenerate eq...
