非晶态合金表面的水润湿动力学

采用分子动力学模拟方法研究了改进的Simple pointcharge模型SPC/E水滴在Cu_(50)Zr_(50)非晶薄膜上的润湿行为和铺展过程.通过与CuZr(110)和(100)晶面对比研究发现,水滴在Cu_(50)Zr_(50)非晶薄膜表面上表现出较高的铺展速度.水滴在非晶合金表面的铺展过程中形成了明显的吸附层;而在晶态表面,水滴铺展前沿呈脚状形态.分析结果表明非晶表面的水分子在吸附层内呈现完全无序的单层排列方式,而在晶态表面,特别是(100)晶面,吸附层水分子呈双层有序排列.这种吸附层结构的差异导致了吸附层内水分子方向的差异:非晶表面吸附层内水分子方向倾向平行于表面,而晶态基底上吸附层内的水分子倾向于指向液滴内部.由此造成了非晶表面吸附层中的水分子与液滴内部以相对较弱的氢键相互作用,这使得上层水分子能够较容易扩散至吸附层前沿,促进液滴铺展.

Sliding behavior of water droplets on line-patterned hydrophobic surfaces

We prepared line-patterned hydrophobic surfaces using fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) and octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODS) then investigated the effect of line direction on sliding behavior of water droplets by direct observation of the actual droplet motion during sliding. Water droplets slide down with a periodic large deformation of the contact line and sliding velocity fluctuation that occurred when they crossed over the 500-μm ODS line regions in FAS regions on a Si surface tilted at 35°. These behaviors are less marked for motion on a 100-μm line surface, or on lines oriented parallel to the slope direction. Smaller droplets slide down with greater displacement in the line direction on 500-μm line patterning when the lines were rotated at 13° in-plane for the slope direction. This sliding behavior depended on the droplet size and rotation angle, and is accountable by the balance between gravitational and retentive forces.     

Ultrafast interference imaging of air in splashing dynamics

A drop impacting a solid surface with sufficient velocity will emit many small droplets creating a splash. However, splashing is completely suppressed if the surrounding gas pressure is lowered. The mechanism by which the gas affects splashing remains unknown. We use high-speed interference imaging to measure the air beneath all regions of a spreading viscous drop as well as optical absorption to measure the drop thickness. Although an initial air bubble is created on impact, no significant air layer persists until the time a splash is created. This suggests that splashing in our experimentally accessible range of viscosities is initiated at the edge of the drop as it encroaches into the surrounding gas.     

Observation of fibroblast motility on a micro-grooved hydrophobic elastomer substrate with different geometric characteristics

We used a hydrophobic micro-textured poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in the presence of serum protein at 37 degrees C to study the motility of mouse stromal fibroblast on variant (15-100microm) parallel ridge/groove with 30microm depth. In this paper, we observed the temporal changes in cell morphology and locomotion by using time-lapse phase-contrast microscopy. When fibroblasts seeded onto the micro-grooved substrate, almost all of cells concentrated at the bottom of the grooves. Sequentially, the fibroblasts attached and spread on the surface, migrated toward the walls of the grooves, climbed up and down the ridges frequently, apparently, the 30microm depth of groove did not hinder movement across the micro-grooves. Eventually, they stopped proliferating as a result of contact inhibition and formed a confluent monolayer on the ridges almost exclusively, with an orientation parallel to the direction of the ridge/groove. Cellular shape of fibroblast was enhanced with the micro-grooves, the form index of nucleus was 2.6-fold greater than that of cells on smooth surfaces. Further, we found that hydrophobic surfaces are more prone to direct cellular motility in comparison with hydrophilic surfaces.     

剪切变稀液滴撞击不同浸润性壁面的数值模拟研究

基于有限元法,采用水平集方法捕捉相界面的移动,构建了液滴撞击固体壁面的数值模型.通过修正的幂律模型描述流体的非牛顿剪切变稀特性,探讨了剪切变稀特性对液滴撞击固体壁面后铺展行为的影响,分析了撞击不同浸润性壁面时剪切变稀特性对液滴撞击壁面行为的影响差异.研究结果表明:随着幂律指数m的减小,液滴撞击过程中的黏性耗散减小,液滴的形貌变化及无量纲参数变化更为显著.接触角为55°的情况下:当m降低至0.85时,液滴铺展过程中开始出现显著区别于牛顿流体液滴的振荡现象;当m降低至0.80时,液滴在回缩过程中会出现中心液膜断裂的情况.接触角为100°时,剪切变稀液滴均会出现振荡行为,振荡幅度随着m的减小而增大.接触角为160°时,牛顿流体液滴与剪切变稀液滴均会在回缩过程中弹起,但剪切变稀液滴的弹起速度更快.此外,基于数值计算结果,本文提出了接触角为55°情况下剪切变稀液滴撞击壁面后的最大无量纲铺展直径预测模型.

3D Simulations of Freezing Characteristics of Double-Droplet Impact on Cold Surfaces with Different Wettability

In this work, the freezing characteristics of double-droplet impact on three typical wettability surfaces were investigated by coupling the solidification and melting VOF models. Different temperature conditions were adopted to study the influence of icing speed on droplet behavior. Simulation results show that the motion of the double-droplet impact is consistent with that of a single droplet in the early spreading stage but behaves differently in the retraction stage. The wetting area evolution during the impact-freezing process shows different tendency for hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces: Compared with single droplets, double droplets have a smaller wetting area factor on hydrophilic surfaces but a larger one on superhydrophobic surfaces. In addition, three typical impact results are observed for the double-droplet impact on a superhydrophobic cold surface: full rebound, adhesive avulsion, and full adhesion, which reflects the interaction of droplet merging and solidification during the impact freezing of the double droplet. These findings may deepen our understanding of the mechanism of impact freezing on a cold surface, it provides reference for the associated applications and technologies in icing/anti-icing.     

液滴撞击加热壁面传热实验研究

本文采用高速摄像仪对水滴和乙醇液滴撞击加热壁面后的蒸发过程进行了实验观测, 分析了液滴撞击加热壁面后的蒸发特性参数. 实验中, 两种液体初始温度均为20 ℃, 不锈钢壁面初始温度范围为68-126℃. 水滴初始直径为2.07 mm, 撞击壁面时Weber 数为2-44; 乙醇液滴初始直径为1.64 mm, Weber数为3-88. 结果表明, 液滴受到重力、表面张力及流动性的影响, 在蒸发过程的大部分时间内, 水滴高度持续降低而接触直径几乎不变; 蒸发后期, 液滴发生回缩, 水滴的接触直径、高度和接触角出现振荡现象. 乙醇液滴的接触角随时间的增加呈现先减小随后保持不变的趋势, 而接触直径和高度则持续减小, 直到液滴完全蒸发. 液滴蒸发总时长与液体物性和壁面温度有关, 随壁面温度的升高而减小, 与液滴撞击壁面时的Weber 数无关. 同时, 随着壁面温度的升高, 液滴显热部分占总换热量的比重增大, 显热部分能量不可忽略, 本文实验条件下得到水滴的平均热流密度为0.014-0.110 W·mm^-2.     

Drop impact on superheated surfaces

At the impact of a liquid droplet on a smooth surface heated above the liquid's boiling point, the droplet either immediately boils when it contacts the surface ("contact boiling"), or without any surface contact forms a Leidenfrost vapor layer towards the hot surface and bounces back ("gentle film boiling"), or both forms the Leidenfrost layer and ejects tiny droplets upward ("spraying film boiling"). We experimentally determine conditions under which impact behaviors in each regime can be realized. We show that the dimensionless maximum spreading γ of impacting droplets on the heated surfaces in both gentle and spraying film boiling regimes shows a universal scaling with the Weber number We (γ~We(2/5)), which is much steeper than for the impact on nonheated (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) surfaces (γ~We(1/4)). We also interferometrically measure the vapor thickness under the droplet.     

A comparative study of droplet impact dynamics on a dual-scaled superhydrophobic surface and lotus leaf

The impact dynamics of water droplets on an artificial dual-scaled superhydrophobic surface was studied and compared with that of a lotus leaf with impact velocity V up to 3 m/s. The lower critical impact velocity for the bouncing of droplets was about 0.08 m/s on both surfaces. At relatively low impact velocities, regular rebound of droplets and air bubble trapping and flow jetting on both surfaces were observed as V was increased. For intermediate V, partial pinning and rebound of droplets were found on the artificial dual-scaled surface due to the penetration of the droplets into the micro- and nano-scale roughness. On the lotus leaf, however, the droplets bounced off with intensive vibrations instead of being partially pinned on the surface because of the irregular distribution of microbumps on the leaf. As the impact velocity was sufficiently high, droplet splashing occurred on both surfaces. The contact time and restitution coefficient of the impinging droplets were also measured and discussed.     

Singular jets and bubbles in drop impact

We show that when water droplets gently impact on a hydrophobic surface, the droplet shoots out a violent jet, the velocity of which can be up to 40 times the drop impact speed. As a function of the impact velocity, two different hydrodynamic singularities are found that correspond to the collapse of the air cavity formed by the deformation of the drop at impact. It is the collapse that subsequently leads to the jet formation. We show that the divergence of the jet velocity can be understood using simple scaling arguments. In addition, we find that very large air bubbles can remain trapped in the drops. The surprising occurrence of the bubbles for low-speed impact is connected with the nature of the singularities, and can have important consequences for drop deposition, e.g., in ink-jet printing.     

Molecular dynamics simulations of the nano-droplet impact process on hydrophobic surfaces

Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the dynamic processes of a nano-droplet impacting on hydrophobic surfaces at a microscopic level. Both the impact phenomena and the velocity distributions are recorded and analyzed. According to the simulation results, similar phenomena are obtained to those in macro-experiments. Impact velocity affects the spread process to a greater degree than at a level of contact angle when the velocity is relatively high. The velocity distribution along the X axis during spread is wave-like, either W- or M-shaped, and the velocity at each point is oscillatory; while the edges have the highest spread velocity and there are crests in the distribution curve which shift toward the edges over time. The distribution along the Y axis is 〈- or 〉-shaped, and the segments above the middle have the lowest decrease rate in the spreading process and the highest increase rate in the retraction process.
