Morphological instability in freezing colloidal suspensions
We present a linear stability analysis of a planar ice interface during unidirectional solidification of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension. We find that the interface can become unstable due to constitutional supercooling, yielding a new mechanism for pattern formation in colloidal systems. The interfacial stability is shown to depend strongly on the size and concentration of the particles. In...
متن کاملNumerical study of freezing in polydisperse colloidal suspensions
We have established the solid–fluid coexistence region for a system of polydisperse hard spheres with near-Gaussian diameter distributions, as a function of polydispersity. Significantly, we observe a ‘terminal’ polydispersity above which there can be no fluid–solid coexistence. At the terminus the polydispersity is 5.7% for the solid and 11.8% for the fluid while the volume fractions are 0.588...
متن کاملExperimental verification of morphological instability in freezing aqueous colloidal suspensions.
We describe an experimental test of a new theory of the unidirectional freezing of aqueous colloidal suspensions. At low freezing speeds a planar ice lens completely rejects the particles, forming a steady-state compacted boundary layer in the liquid region. At higher speeds the planar interface becomes thermodynamically unstable and breaks down geometrically to trap bulk regions of colloid wit...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملOff-equilibrium surface tension in colloidal suspensions.
We study the fingering instability of the interface between two miscible fluids, a colloidal suspension and its own solvent. The temporal evolution of the interface in a Hele-Shaw cell is found to be governed by the competition between the nonlinear viscosity of the suspension and an off-equilibrium, effective surface tension Γe. By studying suspensions in a wide range of volume fractions, ΦC, ...
