Coexistence of Contact Line Pinning and Depinning
Archive
Textured surfaces are instrumental in water repellency or fluid wicking applications, where the pinning and depinning of the liquid–gas interface plays an important role. We demonstrate that a contact line can exhibit nonuniform behavior even without varying the local energy barrier.
Modeling Evaporation from Nanopores
Archive
We present a theoretical framework to elucidate evaporation and transport within nanopores by incorporating non-equilibrium effects due to the deviation from classical kinetic theory.
