A quantitative in situ characterization of the impact of surface roughness on wettability in porous media is currently lacking. We use reservoir condition micrometer-resolution X-ray …
Small multicomponent droplets are of increasing importance in a plethora of technological applications ranging from the fabrication of self-assembled hierarchical patterns to the …
In many practical geochemical systems that are at the center of providing indispensable energy, resources and service to our society,(bio) geochemical reactions are coupled with …
The application of nanoparticles (NPs) in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) offers a practical approach to resolving some surface-related problems encountered in contemporary …
The next-generation wearable near-eye displays inevitably require extremely high pixel density due to significant decrease in the viewing distance. For such denser and smaller …
Sufficiently thin liquid films on solid surfaces are often unstable to intermolecular forces and it is commonly assumed that their rupture occurs via a linear instability mechanism in the so …
Fluid-filled biological cavities are ubiquitous, but their collective dynamics has remained largely unexplored from a physical perspective. Based on experimental observations in …
The effect of confining walls on the fluctuation of a nanoscale thin film's free surface is studied using stochastic thin-film equations (STFEs). Two canonical boundary conditions are …
The effects of thermal fluctuations on nanoscale flows are captured by a numerical scheme that is underpinned by fluctuating hydrodynamics. A stochastic lubrication equation (SLE) is …
