Effects of hydraulic pressure on the stability and transition of wetting modes of superhydrophobic surfaces

The underlying mechanisms of stability, metastability, or instability of the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel wetting modes and their transitions on superhydrophobic surfaces decorated with periodic micropillars are quantitatively studied in this article. Hydraulic pressure, which may be generated by the water-air interfacial tension of water droplets or external factors such as raining impact, is shown to be a key to understanding these mechanisms. A detailed transition process driven by increasing hydraulic pressure is numerically simulated. The maximum sustainable or critical pressure of the Cassie-Baxter wetting state on a pillarlike microstructural surface is formulated for the first time in a simple, unified, and precise form. This analytic result reveals the fact that reducing the microstructural scales (e.g., the pillars' diameters and spacing) is probably the most efficient measure needed to enlarge the critical pressure significantly. We also introduce a dimensionless parameter, the pillar slenderness ratio, to characterize the stability of either the Cassie-Baxter or the Wenzel wetting state and show that the energy barrier for transitioning from the Cassie-Baxter to the Wenzel wetting mode is proportional to both the slenderness ratio and the area fraction. Thus, the Cassie-Baxter wetting mode may collapse under a hydraulic pressure lower than the critical one if the slenderness ratio is improperly small. This quantitative study explains fairly well some experimental observations of contact angles that can be modeled by neither Wenzel nor Cassie-Baxter contact angles and eventually leads to our proposals for a mixed (or coexisting) wetting mode.     

Leray–Hopf solutions to a viscoelastoplastic fluid model with nonsmooth stress–strain relation

We consider a fluid model including viscoelastic and viscoplastic effects. The state is given by the fluid velocity and an internal stress tensor that is transported along the flow with the Zaremba–Jaumann derivative. Moreover, the stress tensor obeys a nonlinear and nonsmooth dissipation law as well as stress diffusion. We prove the existence of global-in-time weak solutions satisfying an energy inequality under general Dirichlet conditions for the velocity field and Neumann conditions for the stress tensor.     

Lattice-BGK approach to simulating granular flows

Many continuum theories for granular flow produce an equation of motion for the fluctuating kinetic energy density (granular temperature) that accounts for the energy lost in inelastic collisions. Apart from the presence of an extra dissipative term, this equation is very similar in form to the usual temperature equation in hydrodynamics. It is shown how a lattice-kinetic model based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation that was previously derived for a miscible two-component fluid may be modified to model the continuum equations for granular flow. This is done by noting that the variable corresponding to the concentration of one species follows an equation that is essentially analogous to the granular temperature equation. A simulation of an unforced granular fluid using the modified model reproduces the phenomenon of clustering instability, namely the spontaneous agglomeration of particles into dense clusters, which occurs generically in all granular flows. The success of the continuum theory in capturing the gross features of this basic phenomenon is discussed. Some shear flow simulations are also presented.     

Transient flow towards a well in an aquifer including the effect of fluid inertia

Transient propagation of weak pressure perturbations in a homogeneous, isotropic, fluid saturated aquifer has been studied. A damped wave equation for the pressure in the aquifer is derived using the macroscopic, volume averaged, mass conservation and momentum equations. The equation is applied to the case of a well in a closed aquifer and analytical solutions are obtained to two different flow cases. It is shown that the radius of influence propagates with a finite velocity. The results show that the effect of fluid inertia could be of importance where transient flow in porous media is studied.List of symbols b Thickness of the aquifer, m - c ₀ Wave velocity, m/s - k Permeability of the porous medium, m² - n Porosity of the porous medium - p( ,t) Pressure, N/m² - Q Volume flux, m³/s - r Radial coordinate, m - r _w Radius of the well, m - s Transform variable - S Storativity of the aquifer - S _d(r, t) Drawdown, m - t Time, s - T Transmissivity of the aquifer, m²/s - ( ,t) Velocity of the fluid, m/s - Coordinate vector, m - z Vertical coordinate, m - Coefficient of compressibility, m²/N - Coefficient of fluid compressibility, m²/N - Relaxation time, s - (r, t) Hydraulic potential, m - Dynamic viscosity of the fluid, Ns/m² - Dimensionless radius - Density of the fluid, Ns²/m⁴ - (, ) Dimensionless drawdown - Dimensionless time - , x Dummy variables - ₀, ₁ Auxilary functions     

Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Turbulent Plasma Jet Impinging upon a Flat Plate and with Transverse Particle and Carrier-Gas Injection

Modeling results are presented concerning the turbulent thermal plasma jet impinging normally on a substrate and with transverse injection of feedstock particles and their carrier gas from a single injection tube. The k- two-equation model is employed to model the turbulence, and particle dispersion is studied considering the interaction between the moving particles and turbulent eddies and considering the effect on particle trajectories of the random variation of the turbulent fluctuating velocities in their magnitude and direction. A well-validated three-dimensional (3-D) computer code is used in the modeling. The 3-D effects due to the carrier gas injection on the jet flow field and thus on the particle trajectories and heating histories are shown to be appreciable. The radial location of the injection tube with respect to the plasma jet is shown to be a critical parameter for the study of 3-D effects, besides the carrier-gas/plasma stream mass flux ratio. Particle dispersion considerably widens the distribution of the particle trajectories and heating histories. In addition, although pertinent swirl number is often rather small, swirling may also affect the modeling results.     

Preparation and voltammetric characterisation of bismuth-modified mesoporous platinum microelectrodes. Application to the electrooxidation of formic acid

In this paper mesoporous platinum microeletrodes (Pt-ME) modified with submonolayers of adsorbed bismuth (Bi-PtME) were prepared and characterised by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The mesoporous platinum films were electrodeposited from hexachloroplatinic acid dissolved in the aqueous domain of the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of Brij 78^®, to form metal films with hexagonal arrays of nanometer-sized channels. Bismuth deposition was performed by different procedures involving either the spontaneous adsorption of bismuth onto the Pt surface from Bi³⁺ solutions, or by under potential deposition (UPD) of bismuth from Bi³⁺ solutions, by cycling the potential over an useful range, or applying a constant potential for a given time. The latter procedures provided high bismuth coverage (θ_Bi), whereas only small amounts of bismuth could be adsorbed from the simple immersion of the Pt-ME at open circuit. The coverage by irreversibly adsorbed bismuth was checked in a 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution free of Bi³⁺ ions and exploiting the charge involved in the hydrogen adsorption/desorption, which decreased in proportion to the amount of platinum sites covered by bismuth. The ability of the prepared Bi-PtME towards the oxidation of formic acid was also investigated. It was found that Bi-PtME with θ_Bi = 0.6 provided stationary voltammograms characterised by a low hysteresis between the anodic and cathodic scans. The onset of the waves resulted shifted by about 150 mV towards less positive potentials with respect to that of the corresponding Pt-ME. At 0.1 M HCOOH current densities of about 70 mA cm⁻² were achieved. These results were discussed in terms of high tolerance towards the intermediate poisons of the Bi-PtME investigated here. Bi-PtME with much lower real surface area and bismuth coverage displayed both lower catalytic activity and tolerance to poisons.
