In this paper, the size of bubbles formed through the breakup of a gaseous jet in a co-axial microfluidic device is derived. The gaseous jet surrounded by a co-flowing liquid stream breaks up into monodisperse microbubbles and the size of…
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is routinely employed in the simulation of complex multiphase flows comprising bulk phases separated by non-ideal interfaces. LBM is intrinsically mesoscale with an hydro-dynamic equivalence popularly set…
The experimental time-lapse images of the breakup phenomenon of a charged droplet (diameter ~100-300 micro-m) levitated in an electrodynamic (ED) balance is reported. During the breakup process, a levitated charged droplet undergoes…
We study the response of materials with nanoscale pores containing sodium chloride solutions, to cycles of relative humidity (RH). Compared to pure fluids, we show that these sorption isotherms display much wider hysteresis, with a shape…
Mapping the electrostatic potential (ESP) distribution around ions in electrolyte solution is crucial for the establishment of a microscopic understanding of electrolyte solution properties. For solutions in the bulk phase, it has not been…
A large number of flows with distinctive patterns have been observed in experiments and simulations of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a water-filled cylinder whose radius is twice the height. We have adapted a time-dependent pseudospectral…
The advective Cahn-Hilliard equation describes the competing processes of stirring and separation in a two-phase fluid. Intuition suggests that bubbles will form on a certain scale, and previous studies of Cahn-Hilliard dynamics seem to…
The Plateau-Rayleigh instability causes the fragmentation of a liquid ligament into smaller droplets. In this study a numerical study of this phenomenon based on a single relaxation time (SRT) pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)…
Contact line friction (CLF) of bubbles is ubiquitous, from bubbles on a beer glass to H2 bubbles sliding over electrodes in electrolysis. However, a fundamental understanding of CLF of bubbles is still missing, mainly due to the challenge…
The average scattered intensity is determined by the optical characteristics of particles in dispersion. The normalized time auto-correlation function of the scattered light intensity $g^{(2)}(\tau) $ includes both the optical and…
A model for gas nanobubbles is proposed in which their remarkable stability is explained as due to the presence of a qualitatively different form of water covering the nanobubble surface layer which leads to a reduction of the diffusion…
Water inherently contains trace amounts of various salts, yet the microscopic processes by which salts influence some of its physical properties remain elusive. Notably, the mechanisms that reduce the dielectric constant of water upon salt…
Surfactants in aqueous solutions self-assemble in the presence of salt, to form long, flexible worm-like micelles (WLM). WLM solutions exhibit viscoelastic properties and are used in many applications, such as for cosmetic products, drag…
Calculations are presented to describe the dynamic of a growing bubble in a single and simple formulation for R(t). The calculations show clearly that the behavior of the growing bubble is exponentially increasing with the time constant…
Galvanised by the emergent fields of metamaterials and topological wave physics, there is currently much interest in controlling wave propagation along structured arrays, and interfacial waves between geometrically different crystal…
In this paper we present a review on our recent experimental investigations into the phase behavior of the deeply cooled water confined in a nanoporous silica material, MCM-41, with elastic neutron scattering technique. Under such strong…
Based on the Monte Carlo kinetic method, we investigated the formation mechanisms of periodical modulations arising along the length of one-dimensional structures. The evolution of initially cylindrical nanowires/slabs at temperatures lower…
Rayleigh scattering poses an intrinsic limit for the transparency of organic liquid scintillators. This work focuses on the Rayleigh scattering length of linear alkylbenzene (LAB), which will be used as the solvent of the liquid…
The striking anomalies in physical properties of supercooled water that were discovered in the 1960-70s, remain incompletely understood and so provide both a source of controversy amongst theoreticians, and a stimulus to experimentalists…
We investigate the modes of deformation of an initially spherical bubble immersed in a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent background flow. We perform direct numerical simulations of the two-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations,…
