The removal of unwanted entities or soiling material from surfaces is an essential operation
in many personal, industrial, societal, and environmental applications. The use of liquid …

The current state of knowledge on the fundamentals of bitumen recovery from Athabasca oil
sands using water‐based extraction methods is reviewed. Instead of investigating bitumen …

Growing oil demand and the gradual depletion of conventional oil reserves by primary
extraction has highlighted the need for enhanced oil recovery techniques to increase the …

Understanding the physics of microscale two-phase flow is important for a broad variety of
engineering applications including compact PEM fuel cells and heat exchangers. The low …

Using the multiphase free-energy lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), the formation of a water
droplet emerging through a micro-pore on the hydrophobic gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface …

Onset of droplet motion is important for various applications, including dropwise
condensation and water management in fuel cells. In order to determine critical conditions …

In this study the wetting behavior of converging-diverging and diverging-converging
capillaries is investigated numerically using an in-house written, finite-element code. An …

The movement and deformation of droplet is widely applied in many fields. In this study, to
investigate the dynamics of droplets moving on surfaces with different wettability driven by …

Surfactant research explores the forces responsible for surfactant assembly and the critical
industrial, medical, and personal applications, including viscosity control, microelectronics …

We address the dynamics of a surfactant-laden droplet on a solid surface in simple shear
flow numerically. Our analysis uses the front-tracking method to take surfactant transport into …
