Interface profiles near three-phase contact lines in electric fields.
Long-range electrostatic fields deform the surface profile of a conductive liquid in the vicinity of the contact line. We have investigated the equilibrium profiles by balancing electrostatic and capillary forces locally at the liquid vapor interface. Numerical results show that the contact angle at the contact line approaches Young's angle. Simultaneously, the local curvature displays a weak a...
متن کاملOne-dimensional cluster array at the three-phase contact line in diluted colloids subjected to ac electric fields.
Colloidal particles provide an efficient means of building multiple scale structured materials from colloidal dispersions. In this Brief Report we account for experimental evidence on the formation of a colloidal cluster array at a three-phase contact line. We study the influence of low frequency external alternating electric fields on a diluted colloidal dispersion opened to the air. We focus ...
متن کاملGeometry-dependent electrostatics near contact lines.
Long-ranged electrostatic interactions in electrolytes modify contact angles on charged substrates in a scale and geometry-dependent manner. For angles measured at scales smaller than the typical Debye screening length, the wetting geometry near the contact line must be explicitly considered. Using variational and asymptotic methods, we derive new transcendental equations for the contact angle ...
متن کاملCritical behaviours of contact near phase transitions
A central quantity of importance for ultracold atoms is contact, which measures two-body correlations at short distances in dilute systems. It appears in universal relations among thermodynamic quantities, such as large momentum tails, energy and dynamic structure factors, through the renowned Tan relations. However, a conceptual question remains open as to whether or not contact can signify ph...
متن کاملAn Interface Capturing Method for Two–phase Flow with Moving Contact Lines
This paper presents a conservative numerical method capable of capturing contact line movement for the simulation of capillary dominated flow of two immiscible, incompressible fluids. The interface between the two fluids is represented implicitly by the 0.5–level set of a function varying smoothly from zero to one. The flow of each phase is governed by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations...
