The early stages of drop impact onto a solid surface are considered. Detailed numerical simulations and detailed asymptotic analysis of the process reveal a self-similar structure both for the velocity field and the pressure field. The…
We investigate expansions for connectedness functions in the random connection model of continuum percolation in powers of the intensity. Precisely, we study the pair-connectedness and the direct-connectedness functions, related to each…
The interfacial tension of a liquid droplet surrounded by another liquid in the presence of microscopic ions is studied as a function of the droplet radius. An analytical expression for the interfacial tension is obtained within a linear…
In this work I derive analytic expressions for the curvature dependent fluid-substrate surface tension of a hard sphere fluid on a hard curved wall. In a first step, the curvature thermodynamic properties are found as truncated power series…
Surface tension in drops has been investigated mainly from a thermodynamic standpoint, more rarely with kinetic methods. In the present work, this problem is studied in the framework of kinetic theory, starting from Sutherland's…
We develop a multidensity formulation of the Ornstein-Zernike equation with Percus-Yevick closure for hard spheres with anisotropic surface adhesion of tetrahedral quadrupolar-like symmetry. An analytical solution is obtained using the…
The properties of a classical simple liquid can be strongly affected by application of an external potential that supports inhomogeneity. To understand the nature of these property changes the equilibrium particle distribution functions of…
Thermodynamic consistency of the Mean Spherical Approximation as well as the Self-Consistent Ornstein-Zernike Approximation (SCOZA) with the virial route to thermodynamics is analyzed in terms of renormalized gamma-ordering. For continuum…
It is necessary for the statistical description of collective effects in liquids to set that or other approximation between direct and pair correlation functions which describe a neighboring order. The analytical solution of the generalized…
The Ornstein-Zernike equation is a powerful tool in liquid state theory for predicting structural and thermodynamic properties of fluids. Combined with a suitable closure, it has been shown to reproduce e.g. the static structure factor,…
A simple analytical microscopic expression for the surface tension of liquids $\gamma$ is obtained which is in a good agreement with available data of numerical experiments. We apply the integral transformation that maps the fluid…
A sessile liquid drop can deform the substrate on which it rests if the solid is sufficiently "soft". In this paper we compute the detailed spatial structure of the capillary forces exerted by the drop on the solid substrate using a model…
We employ the Lorentz reciprocal theorem to derive a closed-form expression for the pressure drop reduction due to the coupling between shear-thinning fluid flow and a weakly deformable channel wall in terms of the shear rate and the…
The contact angle of a liquid droplet on a solid surface is a direct measure of fundamental atomic-scale forces acting between liquid molecules and the solid surface. In this work, the validity is assessed of a simple equation, which…
An Ornstein-Zernike approximation for the two-body correlation function embodying thermodynamic consistency is applied to a system of classical Heisenberg spins on a three-dimensional lattice. The consistency condition determined in a…
Previously, it has been shown that the direct correlation function for a Lennard-Jones fluid could be modeled by a sum of that for hard-spheres, a mean-field tail and a simple linear correction in the core region constructed so as to…
Using the approach formulated in the previous papers of the author, a consistent procedure is developed for calculating non-classical asymptotic power terms in the total and the direct correlation functions of a critical fluid. Analyzing…
We analyze two representative systems containing a three-phase-contact line: a liquid lens at a fluid--fluid interface and a liquid drop in contact with a gas phase residing on a solid substrate. We discuss to which extent the decomposition…
The curvature dependence of the surface tension is related to the excess equimolar radius of liquid drops, i.e., the deviation of the equimolar radius from that defined with the macroscopic capillarity approximation. Based on the Tolman [J.…
In this paper, we derive the first variation formulas for surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space by using the ``strain-displacement relations'' known in thin shell theory. For applications to architectural surface design, we focus on the…
