The colors in a digital image do not only depend on the scene's reflectances, but also on the lighting conditions and on the characteristics of the imaging device. It is often necessary to separate the influence of these three elements, in particular to se ...
There are many aspects of the dynamics of liquids wetting solid surfaces that are not fully understood. One such aspect is what happens at the first instance of contact. We study the dynamics of a partially wetting fluid drop as it approaches a solid surfa ...
Sessile liquid drops are predicted to deform an elastic surface onto which they are placed because of the combined action of the liquid surface tension at the periphery of the drop and the capillary pressure inside the drop. Here, we show for the first tim ...
Natural surfaces are often structured with nanometre-scale domains, yet a framework providing a quantitative understanding of how nanostructure affects interfacial energy, gamma(SL), is lacking. Conventional continuum thermodynamics treats gamma(SL) solely ...
The average lifetime of an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator cable (lead) is approximately 10 years. One of the main lead failure mechanisms is deterioration of the insulation, which can be caused by chemical, biological, and mechanical processes. Each ...
With increasing computer capabilities, numerical modeling of two-phase flows has developed significantly over the last few years. Although there are two main categories, namely 'one' fluid and 'two' fluid methods, the 'one' fluid methods are more commonly ...
The paper describes and compares the performance of two options for numerically representing the surface tension force in combination with the level set interface-tracking method. In both models, the surface tension is represented as a body force, concentr ...
NOVELTY - The method involves illuminating an object i.e. aneurysm, with measuring light with wavelengths ranging from 790 nanometer to 820 nanometer, and recording a sequence of images (21, 22) i.e. white light image, of the illuminated object. The sequen ...
We present the results of a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the coalescence of a drop with a liquid reservoir of a miscible but distinct fluid. Particular attention is given to elucidating the influence on the coalescence process of a ...
The database of satellite images covering the earth is growing extremely quickly and represents an important amount of data. The extension of this huge amount of data with images from very different sources and time of acquisition can provide a wide range ...
