Cavitation in impacted drops and jets and the effect on erosion damage thresholds

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Marc Tinguely

It is well known that metals and alloys erode at lower impact threshold velocities than expected. This was studied by Thomas and Brunton (1970) who reported “discrepancy factors” in the range 4–10. These authors suggested that liquid impact was a more sear ...

Stochastic simulation of intermittent DSD fields in time

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss, Joël Jaffrain

A method for the stochastic simulation of (rain)drop size distributions (DSDs) in space and time using geostatistics is presented. At each pixel, the raindrop size distribution is described by a Gamma distribution with two or three stochastic parameters. T ...

Strong evidence of surface tension reduction in microscopic aqueous droplets

Athanasios Nenes

The ability of airborne particles to take up water may be enhanced by surface-active components, but the importance of this effect is controversial because direct measurement of the surface tension of microscopic droplets has not been possible. Here we inf ...

Scaling analysis of the variability of the rain drop size distribution at small scale

Alexis Berne, Marc Schleiss, Joël Jaffrain

Like precipitation, the raindrop size distribution (DSD) is strongly variable in space and time. Understanding this variability is important for quantifying and minimizing some of the uncertainties in radar measurements and their interpretation in terms of ...

Influence of the Subgrid Variability of the Raindrop Size Distribution on Radar Rainfall Estimators

Alexis Berne, Joël Jaffrain

This work aims at quantifying the variability of the parameters of the power laws used for rain-rate estimation from radar data, on the basis of raindrop size distribution measurements over a typical weather radar pixel. Power laws between the rain rate an ...

Controlled synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles inside microfluidic droplets

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Josias Basil Wacker, Ioannis Lignos

We study the droplet-based synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (50–350 nm size) in a microfluidic chip. Fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) dye is first chemically linked to aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) in ethanol and this reaction product i ...

Structure and dynamics of liquid water from ab initio molecular dynamics - Comparison of BLYP, PBE and revPBE density functionals with and without van der Waals corrections

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, I-Chun Lin

We investigate the accuracy provided by different treatments of the exchange and correlation effects, in particular the London dispersion forces, on the properties of liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theor ...

Monte Carlo Study on the Water Meniscus Condensation and Capillary Force in Atomic Force Microscopy

Berend Smit

The water meniscus condensed between a nanoscale tip and an atomically flat gold surface was examined under humid conditions using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The molecular structure of the meniscus was investigated with particular focus on it ...
