Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces
François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov
We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Quantitative measurement and comparison of breakthroughs inside the gas diffusion layer using lattice Boltzmann method and computed tomography scan
Jan Van Herle, Emad Oveisi, Hossein Pourrahmani, Hamza Moussaoui
In Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs), the presence of residual water within the Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) poses challenges during cold starts and accelerates degradation. A computational model based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) was deve ...
Nature Portfolio2024Swelling and shrinkage of partially saturated gas shales: from laboratory tests to an effective stress framework
Gas shale swelling during hydraulic stimulation is one of the major challenges in unconventional gas development. It is hypothesized that the large volumetric strain upon water imbibition is a consequence of dramatic changes in capillary pressure and disjo ...
