Solution of PNP-Stokes equations

We present a complete analytical solution for electro-kinetic flow of an acidic solution in an infinite, circular, cylindrical channel. The flow of protons and water is described by Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations, coupled to Stokes flow, [...]

Corona discharge droplet spreading

A corona discharge-assisted technique for spreading of a gently deposited dielectric droplet into a uniform thin film over a dry isothermal conductive substrate is proposed. The surface charge was built up over the droplet interface through ion [...]



Review. Slamming of ships

Literature published on the problem of ship slamming in waves is reviewed from the point of view of someone working at a ship research institute. Such an institute is confronted with rather practical questions regarding the acceptability of certain [...]

Behaviour of a drop in square pipe flow

The lattice Boltzmann method for multi-component immiscible fluids is applied to simulations of the behaviour of a drop in a square pipe flow for various Reynolds numbers of 10<Re<500, Weber numbers of 0<We<250 and viscosity ratios of [...]

Contact regimes in wire sawing

Optimization of the wire sawing process of silicon ingots requires a profound understanding of the dynamic interaction of wire, slurry and silicon material. In this paper, the influence of wire velocity and applied wire stress on the process is [...]



SPH investigation oscillating droplets

Forced oscillations in sessile droplets can be exploited in electrowetting mixing of fluid fractions. The necessary complex flows and large shape deformations require a numerical investigation of fluid dynamics in the transient regime. We provide a [...]

Preface

Anisotropic imbibition

We present and interpret lattice Boltzmann simulations of thick films spreading on surfaces patterned with polygonal posts. We show that the mechanism of pinning and depinning differs with the direction of advance, and demonstrate that this leads to [...]

Two-dimensional decaying turbulence

Two-dimensional decaying turbulence in a square container has been simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The probability density function (PDF) of the vorticity and the particle distribution functions have been determined at various regions [...]
