In this paper we consider a mathematical model which describes the equilibrium of two elastic rods attached to a nonlinear spring. We derive the variational formulation of the model which is in the form of an elliptic quasivariational…

We study a spontaneous relaxation dynamics of arbitrarily shaped liquid drops on solid surfaces in the partial wetting regime. It is assumed that the energy dissipated near the contact line is much larger than that in the bulk of the fluid.…

An example of capillary phenomena commonly seen and often studied is a droplet of water hanging in air from a horizontal surface. A thin capillary surface interface between the liquid and gas develops tangential surface tension, which…

We study a class of degenerate hyperbolic equations in a bounded domain whose degeneracy occurs at a boundary point. We first develop the weighted functional framework, prove well-posedness of the degenerate problem, and establish…

The shape of a drop pinned in a local equilibrium on an incline is a long-standing problem. The substrate can be homogeneous or heterogeneous and we herewith consider a drop pinned on an incline at the junction between a hydrophilic…

Interfaces with a liquid are governing several phenomena. For instance, these interfaces are giving the shape of sessile droplets and rule the spread of liquids on surfaces. Here we analyze the shape of sessile axisymmetric drops and how it…

The shooting method is used to solve a boundary value problem with separated and explicit constraints. To obtain approximations of an unknown initial values there are considered arguments based on the adjoint differential system attached to…

The shape of drop on a flat horizontal plane is obtained by including the first order of correction by the weight. The sphere solution of the weightless drop is used to introduce a new polar coordinate by which the perturbative expression…

We consider saddle point problems which objective functions are the average of $n$ strongly convex-concave individual components. Recently, researchers exploit variance reduction methods to solve such problems and achieve linear-convergence…

A flat plate can bend into a curved surface if it experiences an inhomogeneous growth field. In this article a method is described that numerically determines the optimal growth field giving rise to an arbitrary target shape, optimizing for…

The discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) is a flexible technique for computing scattering and absorption by targets of arbitrary geometry. In this paper we perform systematic study of various non-stationary iterative (conjugate gradient)…

This work proposes a novel, general and robust method of determining bond micromoduli for anisotropic linear elastic bond-based peridynamics. The problem of finding a discrete distribution of bond micromoduli that reproduces an anisotropic…

This letter presents a density function based safe control synthesis framework for the pursuit-evasion problem. We extend safety analysis to dynamic unsafe sets by formulating a reach-avoid type pursuit-evasion differential game as a robust…

We develop a new spatial semidiscrete multiscale method based upon the edge multiscale methods to solve semilinear parabolic problems with heterogeneous coefficients and smooth initial data. This method allows for a cheap spatial…

We consider a three dimensional liquid drop sitting on a rough and chemically heterogeneous substrate. Using a novel minimization technique on the free energy of this system, a generalized Young's equation for the contact angle is found. In…

We study the problem of evaporating drops contracting to a point. Going back to Maxwell and Langmuir, the existence of a spherical solution for which evaporating drops collapse to a point in a self-similar manner is well established in the…

The evaporation of sessile droplets on a flat surface involves a complex interplay between phase change, diffusion, advection and surface forces. In an attempt to significantly reduce the complexity of the problem and to make it manageable,…

Equilibrium shapes of two-dimensional charged, perfectly conducting liquid drops are governed by a geometric variational problem that involves a perimeter term modeling line tension and a capacitary term modeling Coulombic repulsion. Here…

In this paper, we systematically investigate the wetting behavior of a liquid ring in a cylindrical capillary tube. We obtain analytical solutions of the axisymmetric Young-Laplace equation for arbitrary contact angles. We find that, for…

We investigate evaporation of a sessile droplet on a non-wetted surface in the framework of diffusion-limited and quasi-steady evaporation. We extend previous models and numerically solve Laplace equation for the diffusion of liquid vapor…
