AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A sessile droplet can deform the surface of a soft solid not only with its weight. The surface tension pulls up a ridge at the perimeter of the drop, and the capillary pressure embosses a quasi-spherical dimple underneath the drop. This holds for the case ...
The high-temperature wettability of AlN particle preforms with pure molten Cu, Al and Ph is quantified by means of drainage curves measured during pressure infiltration. By integrating the drainage curves obtained in this study, the work of immersion for e ...
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 ...
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 ...
This thesis looks at surface-bound nanowires and nanoparticles, the mechanical and the metrological properties of which are of practical importance in the realization of nanometer-scale electronics. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was the main instrument of ...
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 ...
Drainage curves (plots of the non-wetting fluid saturation versus applied pressure) for infiltration of SiC particle preforms with Al and Al-12.2 at.% Si are measured at 1023 K (750 degrees C) with a pressure infiltration apparatus adapted for direct track ...
Obtaining water microstructures is very difficult because of low viscosity and high surface tension. We produced stable freestanding thin films of pure water by x-ray bombardment of small liquid volumes in capillary tubes. A detailed characterization with ...
We discovered that intense irradiation by hard-x-ray strongly decreases the effects of natural surface tension of water in droplets and capillary tubes. The effect was revealed by direct experimental observations with phase contrast microradiology. A model ...
A new method based on the Young-Laplace equation for measuring contact angles and surface tensions is presented. In this approach, a first-order perturbation technique helps to analytically solve the Young-Laplace equation according to photographic images ...
