We developed and tested a theoretical model for the attachment of fluid-infused porous supra-particles to a fluid-liquid interface. We considered the wetting behaviour of agglomerated clusters of particles, typical of powdered materials dispersed in a liquid, as well as of the adsorption of liquid-infused colloidosomes at the liquid-fluid interface. The free energy of attachment of a composite ...

We present a general algorithm for calculating the spatial variation of the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity through an equilibrium solid-liquid interface using the zero-flux version of the boundary fluctuation theory. In the case of an equilibrium interface between a high melting point Lennard-Jones solid and a low melting point Lennard-Jones liquid, we find that the transport coeffici...

The two-dimensional polymerization and reaction at the solid/liquid interface has caused considerable attention in recent years because of its fundamental importance and many potential applications. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) provides the possibility for the observation and manipulation of polymerization and reaction occurring at the solid/liquid interface at the atomic level. Two-dime...

In this work, large-scale hybrid atomistic-macroscale simulation is performed to study the long-time material behavior in nanosecond laser–material interaction. Different phase change phenomena are studied, including solid–liquid interface speed, temperature, maximummelting depth, and ablation rate. Full solidification/epitaxial re-growth is observed within 60 ns for the laser fluence of 5 J/m....

The diffusion of nanoparticles at a water-alkane interface is studied using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic quantum dots of 5, 8, and 11 nm radius are used. A slow-down of nanoparticle diffusion at the liquid-liquid interface is observed. The effect is most evident when the viscosities of both liquid phases are similar, here, at the water-decane interface. In ...

We succeeded in fabrication of a free accessible microchannel using an air-liquid interface. To pattern the air-liquid interface in the microfluidic chip, we utilized nano-geometric surface which encloses micropatterned massive nanopillars to enhance the wettability of the surface, which was fabricated by using the hybrid mask lithography technique. Novelties of this paper are shown as follows....

ABSTRACT: The paper contains the results of the study of cavitation dispersing in “liquid-solid” system. It is known that cavitation dispersing is one of energy effective methods of “liquid-solid” interface area increasing. For evaluation of cavitation dispersing modes providing maximum interface area the model of the process was developed. The model is based on simulation of bubble collapse ne...

Invited for this issue's Front Cover is the group of Dr. Naoya Nishi Kyoto University (Japan).

The Gas Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separator is an attractive compact separator alternative to the conventional vessel-type two-phase flow separator. Thus, it is important to develop predictive tools for design and to be able to improve the technology of the GLCC. Previous studies on the GLCC have focused on mechanistic models capable of predicting the operational envelope for liquid car...

A light-scattering goniometer for evanescent-wave dynamic light scattering (EWDLS) measurements at a liquid-fluid interface is introduced, and used for measurements on two charge-stabilized polystyrene colloid systems adsorbed to alkane-water interfaces. The goniometer allows an independent variation of the penetration depth and the scattering vector components parallel and perpendicular to a l...
