Surface tension effects in a wedge

Surface tension in tears.

Transverse fracture in multilayers from tension and line-wedge indentation

Crack propagation across laminated brittle solids from uniaxial tension or line-wedge loading is studied in real time using a model glass/epoxy architecture. The fracture progresses from one layer to the next via reinitiation from pre-existing flaws on the glass surfaces ahead of the primary crack in a process accompanied by some penetration through the interlayer but generally little or no del...

MODELING SURFACE TENSION AND WALL ADHESION IN MOLD FILLING PROCESS

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...

Surface Tension-driven Flow in A

We consider an inviscid fluid, initially at rest inside a wedge, bounded by one free surface and one solid surface. When t = 0, we allow the contact angle to change discontinuously, which leads the free surface to recoil under the action of surface tension. As noted by Keller and Miksis [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 43 (1983), pp. 268–277], a similarity scaling is available, with lengths scaling like t...
