Wetting and Spreading Wetting and spreading Daniel Bonn1, Jens Eggers2, Joseph Indekeu3, Jacques Meunier1, and Etienne Rolley1 1Laboratoire de Physique Statistique, Ecole Normale Sup´erieure, 24, rue Lhomond, 75005 Paris, France 2School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TW, United Kingdom 3Instituut voor Theoretische Fysica, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, we first consider the surface forces that lead to wetting, and the equilibrium surface coverage of a substrate in contact with a drop of liquid. Depending on the nature of the surface forces involved, different scenarios for wetting phase transitions are possible; we show that recent progress allows to relate the critical exponents directly to the nature of surface forces which lead to the different wetting scenarios. Thermal fluctuation effects, which can be greatly enhanced for wetting of geometrically or chemically structured substrates, or are much stronger in colloidal suspensions, modify the adsorption singularities. Macroscopic descriptions and microscopic theories have been developed to understand and predict wetting behavior relevant to micro- and nanofluidics applications. The second part of the paper deals with the dynamics of wetting. A drop placed on a substrate which it wets, spreads out to form a film. Conversely, a non-wetted substrate previously covered by a film dewets upon an appropriate change of system parameters. The hydrodynamics of both wetting and dewetting is influenced profoundly by the presence of the three-phase contact line separating “wet” regions from those which are either dry or covered by a microscopic film only. We review recent theoretical, experimental, and numerical progress in the description of moving contact line dynamics, and explore its relation to the thermodynamics of wetting. In addition we survey recent progress on rough surfaces. We explore in detail the anchoring of contact lines and contact angle hysteresis, resulting from surface inhomogeneities. Further, we discuss new ways to mold wetting characteristics according to technological constraints, e.g., the use of patterned surfaces, surfactants or complex fluids. PACS numbers: Contents 2.

Surface chemistry is of key importance in determining wetting behavior, and a large research effort has been put into modifying the sur- face chemistry of various solids in order to obtain specific wetting properties (Durian and Franck, 1987). More or less standard chemical means to do this are for instance, FIG. 1 Plant leaves after the rain. plasma treatment (Wu, 1982) or silanization (Brzoska et al., 1992). By such treatments, one modifies the chem- ical properties of the surface of the materials, and hence the contact energy of the surface with liquids, vapors or other solids. As these “chemical” interactions act over a scale of may pass from one wetting state to another.

During the injection process, heat exchange occurs among the inner tubing, tubing annulus and formation, making the thermal transfer process more complicated than traditional one. This work focuses on the polymer flowing characteristics during the multilayer separate polymer flooding injection process in the wellbore. A temperature–viscosity numerical model is derived to investigate the influencing factors on polymer dual-tubing injection process. Then, an estimate-correct method is introduced to derive the numerical solutions. Several influences have been discussed, including the axial temperature distribution, viscosity distribution, pressure drop, and flow pattern of polymer. Results show that under low injecting rates, below 5 m3/d, formation temperature will greatly decrease the polymer viscosity. When the injecting rates above 20 m3/d, the polymer just decreases 1–3 mPa s at the bottom · of well, which is really small.

In Final Form: June 14, 2005 Thin polymeric films are increasingly being utilized in diverse technological applications, and it is crucial to have a reliable method to characterize the stability of these films against dewetting. The parameter space that influences the dewetting of thin polymer films is wide (molecular mass, temperature, film thickness, substrate interaction) and a combinatorial method of investigation is suitable. We thus construct a combinatorial library of observations for polystyrene (PS) films cast on substrates having orthogonal temperature and surface energy gradients and perform a series of measurements for a range of molecular masses (1800 g/mol < M < 35 000 g/mol) and film thicknesses h (30 nm < h < 40 nm) to explore these primary parameter axes.

The theoretical basis for the simulations consists of a phase field model, which is derived from the system's thermody- namics, and coupled with the Navier Stokes equations. Two types of interfacial flow are investigated, droplet dynamics in a bifurcating channel and sponta- neous capillary driven spreading of drops. Microfluidic and biomedical applications often rely on a precise control of droplets as they traverse through complicated networks of bifurcating channels. Three{dimensional simulations of droplet dynamics in a bifurcating channel are performed for a set of parameters, to describe their influence on the resulting droplet dynamics. Two distinct flow regimes are identified as the droplet in- teracts with the tip of the channel junction, namely, droplet splitting and non- splitting. A flow map based on droplet size and Capillary number is proposed to predict whether the droplet splits or not in such a geometry. A commonly occurring flow is the dynamic wetting of a dry solid substrate.

  • Electrohydrodynamic Settling of Drop in Uniform Electric Field at Low and Moderate Reynolds Numbers
    Electrohydrodynamic settling of drop in uniform electric field at low and moderate Reynolds numbers Nalinikanta Behera1, Shubhadeep Mandal2 and Suman Chakraborty1,a 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur,West Bengal- 721302, India 2Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Am Fassberg 17, D-37077 G¨ottingen, Germany Dynamics of a liquid drop falling through a quiescent medium of another liquid is investigated in external uniform electric field. The electrohydrodynamics of a drop is governed by inherent deformability of the drop (defined by capillary number), the electric field strength (defined by Masson number) and the surface charge convection (quantified by electric Reynolds number). Surface charge convection generates nonlinearilty in a electrohydrodynamics problem by coupling the electric field and flow field. In Stokes limit, most existing theoretical models either considered weak charge convection or weak electric field to solve the problem. In the present work, gravitational settling of the drop is investigated analytically and numerically in Stokes limit considering significant electric field strength and surface charge convection. Drop deformation accurate upto higher order is calculated analytically in small deformation regime. Our theoretical results show excellent agreement with the numerical and shows improvement over previous theoretical models. For drops falling with moderate Reynolds number, the effect of Masson number on transient drop dynamics is studied for (i) perfect dielectric drop in perfect dielectric medium (ii) leaky dielectric drop in the leaky dielectric medium. For the latter case transient deformation and velocity obtained for significant charge convection is compared with that of absence in charge convection which is the novelty of our study.

  • Arxiv:2103.12893V1 [Physics.Flu-Dyn] 23 Mar 2021 (Brine), Thus Creating a Two-Phase flow System
    Dynamic wetting effects in finite mobility ratio Hele-Shaw flow S.J. Jackson, D. Stevens, D. Giddings, and H. Power∗ Faculty of Engineering, Division of Energy and Sustainability, University of Nottingham, UK (Dated: July 21, 2015) In this paper we study the effects of dynamic wetting on the immiscible displacement of a high viscosity fluid subject to the radial injection of a less viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. The dis- placed fluid can leave behind a trailing film that coats the cell walls, dynamically affecting the pressure drop at the fluid interface. By considering the non-linear pressure drop in a boundary element formulation, we construct a Picard scheme to iteratively predict the interfacial velocity and subsequent displacement in finite mobility ratio flow regimes. Dynamic wetting delays the onset of finger bifurcation in the late stages of interfacial growth, and at high local capillary numbers can alter the fundamental mode of bifurcation, producing vastly different finger morphologies. In low mobility ratio regimes, we see that finger interaction is reduced and characteristic finger breaking mechanisms are delayed but never fully inhibited. In high mobility ratio regimes, finger shielding is reduced when dynamic wetting is present. Finger bifurcation is delayed which allows the primary fingers to advance further into the domain before secondary fingers are generated, reducing the level of competition. I. INTRODUCTION der of 50◦C, pressure ranging from 10 to 20 MPa and having a density between 0.4 to 0.8 times that of the During the displacement of a high viscosity fluid surrounding brine. The mobility ratio between the by a low viscosity fluid, perturbations along the in- CO2 and brine is of order 10.
