Capillary flows in flexible structures
Interactions between capillary and elastic effects are relevant to a variety of applications, from micro- and nano-scale manufacturing to biological systems. In this thesis, we investigate capillary flows in extremely flexible, millimeter-scale cylindrical elastic tubes. We demonstrate that surface …

FLOW FORMING OF CAPILLARY INTERFACES: DROP IMPACT AND THE MOBILE CONTACT LINE
… apart. Our focus is on drop depositions in the capillary-ballistic regime. During drop impact, the falling drop’s pre-impact energy transforms into fast-time scale motion of the three-phase contact-line (CL). The CL then comes to rest and the LG interface oscillates, viscously dissipating …

Capillary Pressure Effects in the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
… surface tension, or capillarity, in geological flows. We consider a number of important problems related to carbon storage and present simplified models which consider the key dynamical controls in each case. In chapters 2 and 3, we explore injection of CO2 into layers of permeable storage rock, …

Surface structure enhanced microchannel flow boiling of low surface tension fluids
… thermophysical properties involved in generating capillary flows are significantly less than that of water—most notably their surface tensions. Prior studies have shown that the level of enhancement to the critical heat flux during the flow boiling of water, was positively correlated with the …
