We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...
The viscoelastic behavior of dilute suspensions of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanoparticles in a liquid SU8 epoxy dissolved in gamma butyrolactone was investigated at RGO concentrations in the range from 0.16 to 1.07 vol. %. Our results revealed that the ...
The percolation behavior of alumina suspensions is studied by computer simulations. The percolation threshold phi(c), is calculated, determining the key factors that affect its magnitude: the strength of colloid-colloid attraction and the presence of hydro ...
Hot tearing is a major defect of solidification processes and welding. It occurs in metallic alloys while they are in the semi-solid state and is caused by a lack of liquid feeding in the mushy zone to compensate solid network openings due to tensile and s ...
The infiltration of a non-wetting liquid, such as molten metal, into a porous solid, such as a ceramic preform, is influenced by the wetting angle of the liquid on the solid. The link between local wetting and the minimum pressure required for initiation o ...
The drainage process in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is investigated with an ex situ experimental approach. The drainage process is investigated for stable displacement, capillary fingering, and viscous fingeri ...
Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...
A relationship based upon analogy is explored between (i) a lattice-based model for percolation by cylinders that employs distinct site types with unequal occupation probabilities in order to capture heterogeneities in the particle dispersion, and (ii) the ...
A new mesoscopic model able to describe percolation of globular-equiaxed grains, highly relevant for hot tearing formation in castings, has been developed. This model is inspired from the granular model of Sistaninia et al. [1-5] that considers polyhedral ...
The connectedness percolation threshold (eta(c)) and critical coordination number (Z(c)) of systems of penetrable spherocylinders characterized by a length polydispersity are studied by way of Monte Carlo simulations for several aspect ratio distributions. ...
