A cut-cell method for the numerical simulation of 3D multiphase flows with strong interfacial effects

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Julien Hess, Alexandre Masserey

We present a numerical model for the approximation of multiphase flows with free surfaces and strong interfacial effects. The model relies on the multiphase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and includes surface tension effects on the interfaces betw ...

Measuring electro-adhesion pressure before and after contact

Herbert Shea, Sylvain Thomas Schaller

Electro-adhesion (EA) is a low-power, tunable, fast and reversible electrically-controlled adhesion method, effective on both conducting and insulating objects. Typically, only the electro-adhesive detachment force, i.e., the force required to separate an ...

Studying the wettability of Si and eutectic Si-Zr alloy on carbon and silicon carbide by sessile drop experiments

Ludger Weber, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

The contact angles of two different systems, molten silicon and a eutectic Si-8 at. pct Zr alloy and their evolution over timeon vitreous carbon and polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) substrates were investigated at 1500 degrees C under vacuum, as well ...

Theoretical framework to analyze the combined effect of surface tension and viscosity on the damping rate of sloshing waves

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola

Gravity force, surface tension, oscillating boundary layers, viscous dissipation, static meniscus, contact angle hysteresis, and moving contact lines are typical features of sloshing dynamics. All these ingredients influence capillary-gravity waves in a co ...

Ultralow Interfacial Tension Measurement through Jetting/Dripping Transition

François Gallaire, Laura Augello

In this paper, we present a dynamic microfluidic tensiometer able to perform measurements over more than four decades and which is suitable for high throughput experimentations. This tensiometer is able to withstand hard conditions such as high pressure, h ...

Study of synergetic effect, catalytic poisoning and regeneration using dielectric barrier discharge and photocatalysis in a continuous reactor: Abatement of pollutants in air mixture system

Sami Rtimi

In the present work the abatement of butyraldehyde (BUTY), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and their mixtures in gas phase was studied in continuous reactor at three different configurations: photocatalysis (TiO2 + UV), dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma ...

Grafted semiconductors on PE-films leading to bacterial inactivation: Synthesis, characterization and mechanism

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This study reports the colloidal preparation FeOx, TiO2 and FeOx-TiO2 grafted on polyethylene (PE) films leading to bacterial inactivation. A fast bacterial inactivation was attained by the FeOx-TiO2 compared to the FeOx-PE film due to the interfacial char ...

Scaling laws for the mechanics of loose and cohesive granular materials based on Baxter's sticky hard spheres

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe

We have conducted discrete element simulations (PFC3D) of very loose, cohesive, granular assemblies with initial configurations which are drawn from Baxter's sticky hard sphere (SHS) ensemble. The SHS model is employed as a promising auxiliary means to ind ...

The effect of mesoporous TiO2 pore size on the performance of solid-state dye sensitized solar cells based on photoelectrochemically polymerized Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) hole conductor

Nikolaos Vlachopoulos, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Jiahuan Zhang

Photoelectrochemical polymerization of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiphene) (PEDOT) has recently been introduced and widely investigated for fabrication of the hole transporting material (HTM) in highly efficient solid state dye sensitized solar cells (sDSCs). ...
