Fabrication of wear-resistant omniphobic surfaces is a persistent scientific challenge and essential for various applications such as in paint industries, fluid transport, antifouling, reduction of friction drag on ship hulls, and stain resistant textiles. ...
Liquid-liquid biphasic reactions play an important role in the chemical and pharmaceutical Industries The liquid-liquid slug flow capillary microreactor offers considerable potential benefits over the conventional liquid-liquid contactors Though the hydrod ...
This paper is concerned with the mathematical analysis of a coupled elliptic–parabolic system modeling the interaction between the propagation of electric potential and subsequent deformation of the cardiac tissue. The problem consists in a reaction–diffus ...
We present an experimental study of the complete in-plane dynamics of capillary self-alignment. The two translational (shift) and single rotational (twist) in-plane modes of square millimetric transparent dies bridged to shape-matching receptor sites throu ...
A novel methodology consisting of three hierarchical levels is proposed for the detection phase of contact mechanics simulations. The top level of the hierarchy uses kinematic information from the objects involved in the simulation to determine approximate ...
Copolymers of fluoroacrylates have interesting properties like excellent resistance to chemicals, oils and fuels, high thermal stability and high hydrophobicity. This investigation reports the copolymerization of 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyl acrylate (HF ...
The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...
Physiological loading result to finite and finite rate of deformations of soft tissues such as ligament, tendons, and the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc. Under these conditions, these soft tissues exhibit viscoelastic effects such as strain-st ...
Capillarity is pivotal to many important technologies, including capillary self-alignment and self-assembly for heterogeneous microsystem integration and packaging. Lateral capillary forces ensuing from perturbed fluid menisci were the object of substantia ...
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 ...
