Liquid bridges between a sphere and a plane-Classification of meniscus profiles for unknown capillary pressure

HNG Nguyen, O Millet… - … and Mechanics of Solids, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
The motivation for this study results from the following practical observation: for the
experimenter, the value of the capillary pressure is a priori an unknown of the problem, it …

Evaporation-triggered directional transport of asymmetrically confined droplets

X He, J Cheng - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2021 - Elsevier
Hypothesis When a liquid droplet is confined between two non-parallel hydrophobic
surfaces with dihedral angle α, its behavior is largely influenced by the asymmetric …

Experimental study on the influence of interfacial energy instability on the flow pattern spatiotemporal evolution of thermal-buoyant capillary convection

S Zhang, R Liang, S Yang - Symmetry, 2023 - mdpi.com
The effect of the instability of the interface morphology due to mechanical disturbances and

Behavior of a liquid bridge between nonparallel hydrophobic surfaces

M Ataei, H Chen, A Amirfazli - Langmuir, 2017 - ACS Publications
When a liquid bridge is formed between two nonparallel identical surfaces, it can move
along the surfaces. Literature indicates that the direction of bridge movement is governed by …

Influence of gravitational tilt on the thermocapillary convection in a non-axisymmetric liquid bridge

Lattice-Boltzmann simulations of the dynamics of liquid barrels

É Ruiz-Gutiérrez… - Journal of Physics …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the relaxation towards equilibrium of a liquid barrel—a partially wetting droplet in a
wedge geometry—using a diffuse-interface approach. We formulate a hydrodynamic model …

Directional Transport of a Liquid Drop between Parallel–Nonparallel Combinative Plates

Y Huang, L Hu, W Chen, X Fu, X Ruan, H Xie - Langmuir, 2018 - ACS Publications
