Using molecular dynamics simulations, we reveal emergent properties of hydrated electrode interfaces that while molecular in origin are integral to the behavior of the system across long times scales and large length scales. Specifically,…

Interfaces between two fluids are ubiquitous and of special importance for industrial applications, e.g., stabilisation of emulsions. The dynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces is difficult to study because these interfaces are usually…

Recent advances in experimental and computational techniques have allowed for an accurate description of the adsorption of ionic liquids on metallic electrodes. It is now well established that they adopt a multi-layered structure, and that…

Ionic liquids are widely used as electrolytes in electrochemical devices. In this context, many experimental and theoretical approaches have been recently developed for characterizing their interface with electrodes. In this perspective…

Understandings heat transfer across a solid/liquid interface is important to develop new pathways to improve thermal management in various energy applications. One of the important questions that arises in this context is the impact of…

Soft modulated phases have been shown to undergo complex morphological transitions, in which layer remodeling induced by mean and Gaussian curvatures plays a major role. This is the case in smectic films under thermal treatment, where focal…

Water/solid interfaces are relevant to a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes such as corrosion, lubrication, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Although many fields have contributed to rapid…

This article presents a multi-physics methodology for the numerical simulation of physical systems that involve the non-linear interaction of multi-phase reactive fluids and elastoplastic solids, inducing high strain-rates and high…

Theoretical models for the liquid-vapor and metal-nonmetal transitions of alkali fluids are investigated. Mean-field models are considered first but shown to be inadequate. An alternate approach is then studied in which each statistical…

An approach based on a lattice version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for describing multi-phase flows in nano- and micro-corrugated devices is proposed. We specialize it to describe the wetting/dewetting transition of fluids in presence…

Experiments on fluid systems in micro-/nano-scale solid conveyors have shown a violation of the no-slip assumption that have been adopted by the classical fluid mechanics. To correct this mechanics for the fluid slip, various approaches…

The time-dependent structure, interfacial tension, and evaporation of an oversaturated colloid-rich (liquid) phase in contact with an undersaturated colloid-poor (vapor) phase of a colloidal dispersion is investigated theoretically during…

Active liquid crystals exert nonequilibrium stresses on their surroundings through constant consumption of energy, giving rise to dynamical steady states not present in equilibrium. The paradigmatic example of an active liquid crystal is a…

Mass transfer of gaseous components from rising bubbles to the ambient liquid can be described based on continuum mechanical sharp-interface balances of mass, momentum and species mass. In this context, the standard model consists of the…

Chemical reactions and biological processes are often governed by the structure and transport dynamics of the interface between two liquid phases. Despite their importance, our microscopic understanding of liquid-liquid interfaces has been…

While fluids near a solid surface are at the core of applications in energy storage/conversion, electrochemistry/electrowetting and adsorption/catalysis, their nanoscale behavior remains only partially deciphered. Beyond conventional…

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on pure liquid water, aqueous solutions of sodium chloride, and polymer solutions exposed to a strong external electric field with the goal to gain molecular insight into the structural…

Numerical heat and mass transfer analysis of a configuration where a cool liquid hydrocarbon is suddenly introduced to a hotter gas at supercritical pressure shows that a well-defined phase equilibrium can be established before substantial…

We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann Equation, for the interaction between a solid wall and a non-ideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle in terms of the surface tension between the liquid-gas,…

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be derived from first principles and could, in theory, be violated. We…
