Carbon nanotubes with unique physical and mechanical properties have shown great potential for biological applications, including tissue engineering and mimicking the structure and properties of human bones. In the present work, sol-gel synthesized nanocom ...
We seek to study numerically two-phase flow phenomena with phase change through the finite-element method (FEM) and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework. This method is based on the so-called one-fluid formulation; thus, only one set of equati ...
We directly measure the rapid spreading dynamics succeeding the impact of a droplet of fluid on a solid, dry surface. Upon impact, the air separating the liquid from the solid surface fails to drain and wetting is delayed as the liquid rapidly spreads outw ...
A multicomponent extension of our recent theory of simple fluids [U. M. B. Marconi and S. Melchionna, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 014105 (2009)] is proposed to describe miscible and immiscible liquid mixtures under inhomogeneous, nonsteady conditions typical of co ...
The localized growth of carbon nanotube structures has potential in many applications such as interconnects, field emitters and sensors. Using a laser to locally heat the substrate offers a highly versatile process compatible with a broad range of substrat ...
With different mass ratios, titanium dioxide/carbon nanotube (0.1-10 wt% CNTcontent) nanocomposites were prepared with the aid of ultrasonication method. The structures of the various TiO2/CNT nanocomposites were characterized by electron microscopy (scann ...
We directly measure the rapid spreading dynamics succeeding the impact of a droplet of fluid on a solid, dry surface. Upon impact, the air separating the liquid from the solid surface fails to drain and wetting is delayed as the liquid rapidly spreads outw ...
The objective of this thesis was to increase our understanding of two-phase geophysical flows (e.g. debris flows) by providing velocity profiles in idealized laboratory avalanches. To that end, we developed a new experimental platform made up of an incline ...
The core of this modelling is to study heat transfer and fluid dynamics processes for a compression expansion system, and the main particularity is that heat transfer and air movement are due to the movement of the piston. We have implemented a "moving mes ...
We experimentally investigated the spreading of fluid avalanches (i.e., fixed volumes of fluid) down an inclined flume. Emphasis was given to the velocity field within the head. Using specific imaging techniques, we were able to measure velocity profiles w ...
