Generalization of Young-Laplace, Kelvin, and Gibbs-Thomson equations for arbitrarily curved surfaces

DV Svintradze - Biophysical Journal, 2023 - cell.com
Abstract The Young-Laplace, Kelvin, and Gibbs-Thomson equations form a cornerstone of
colloidal and surface sciences and have found successful applications in many subfields of …

Shape dynamics of bouncing droplets

DV Svintradze - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Oscillating shape motion of a freely falling and bouncing water droplet has long fascinated
and inspired scientists. We propose dynamic non-linear equations for closed, two …

Generalization of the Kelvin equation for arbitrarily curved surfaces

DV Svintradze - Physics Letters A, 2020 - Elsevier
Capillary condensation, which takes place in confined geometries, is the first-order vapor-to-
liquid phase transition and is explained by the Kelvin equation, but the equation's …

Manifold Solutions to Navier-Stokes Equations

DV Svintradze - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.15575, 2024 - arxiv.org
We have developed dynamic manifold solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations using an
extension of differential geometry called the calculus for moving surfaces. Specifically, we …
