In this paper we apply the lattice-Boltzmann method and an extension to particle suspensions as introduced by Ladd et al. to study transport phenomena and structuring effects of particles suspended in a fluid near sheared solid walls. We…

Chemical heterogeneity of solid surfaces disrupts the adsorption of surfactants from the bulk liquid. While its presence can hinder the performance of some formulations, bespoke chemical patterning could potentially facilitate controlled…

We study the wetting model, which considers a random walk constrained to remain above a hard wall, but with additional pinning potential for each contact with the wall. This model is known to exhibit a wetting phase transition, from a…

The adsorption of a single polymer to a flat surface in shear is investigated using Brownian hydrodynamics simulations and scaling arguments. Competing effects are disentangled: in the absence of hydrodynamic interactions, shear drag…

A plane non-parallel vortex flow in a square fluid domain is examined. The energy dissipation of the flow is dominated by viscosity and linear friction effect of a Hartmann layer. This is a traditional Navier-Stokes flow when the linear…

It is demonstrated theoretically that the absorptivity of bulk shear sagittal waves by an ultra-thin layer of viscous fluid between two different elastic media has a strong maximum (in some cases as good as 100%) at an optimal layer…

The moisture absorption in granulated materials used in foundry technologies is analyzed. The absorption process has a diffusive behavior mainly. A simple experimental technique, in which the wet weight increment was recorded as the…

This study extends the Lucas-Washburn theory through non-equilibrium thermodynamic analysis to examine fluid absorption in medical foams used for hemorrhage control. As a universal model for capillary flow in porous media, the theory…

Density-functional theory is used to investigate the phase behavior of colloidal binary hard-platelet and hard-rod fluids near a single hard wall or confined in a slit pore. The Zwanzig model, in which the orientations of the particles of…

The phase behavior of hard rectangular rods with length L and diameter D is studied in a narrow slit-like pore using the Parsons-Lee density functional theory. Using the restricted orientation approximation, we find strong adsorption at the…

We briefly discuss how the wetting properties of a fluid/solid interface can indirectly influence the diffusion properties of fluid confined between two solid walls. This influence is related to the variability of the hydrodynamic boundary…

We analyze the effect of a rough surface on shear thinning and shear thickening fluids, modeled by power law stress tensors. The roughness is modeled by a small wavelength and small amplitude oscillation, parametrized by eps. We study the…

We use a microscopic density functional theory based on Wertheim's first order thermodynamic perturbation theory to study wetting behavior of athermal mixtures of colloids and excluded-volume polymers. In opposition to the wetting behavior…

A liquid poured from a curved solid surface can separate as a steady jet or sheet, or trickle down along the solid surface. It was shown by Duez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 084503 (2010)] that surface wettability controls the separation…

Using an interface displacement model derived from a microscopic density functional theory we investigate thin liquidlike wetting layers adsorbed on flat substrates with an embedded chemical heterogeneity forming a stripe. For a wide range…

We investigate the solvation of a hard spherical cavity, of radius $R$, immersed in a fluid for which the interparticle forces are short ranged. For thermodynamic states lying close to the liquid binodal, where the chemical potential…

The flow of water confined to nanometer-sized pores is central to a wide range of subjects from biology to nanofluidic devices. Despite its importance, a clear picture about nanoscale fluid dynamics is yet to emerge. Here we measured…

We present a theoretical study of the phase diagram and the structure of a fluid adsorbed in high-porosity aerogels by means of an integral-equation approach combined with the replica formalism. To simulate a realistic gel environment, we…

Liquid adsorption in nanoporous materials induces their deformation due to strong capillary forces. The linear relationship between the liquid pressure and the solid strain (pore-load modulus) provides an experimental technique to determine…

Through Monte Carlo simulations and the Associating Lattice Gas Model, the phases of a two-dimensional fluid under hydrophilic confinement are evaluated. The model, in its unconfined version, reproduces the anomalous behavior of water…
