B phase nucleation and A-B interface dynamics in superfluid 3He
… formulating a theory suitable for studying the dynamics of the first order A-B phase transition. The mechanism for the primary B phase nucleation in the metastable A is not at all understood, and in Chapter 2 various possibilities are discussed, although no resolution to the problem is reached. …

Numerical modeling of interface dynamics and transport phenomena in transport-limited electrolysis processes
… contributes to predicting and controlling such interface instability phenomena by developing a computational model that captures them. Successful application of the model to emerging metal extraction processes demonstrates its usefulness. A phase field model of electrochemical interface is …

Regulation of Actin Dynamics During Drosophila Germband Extension
… neighbor exchange by planar polarized cell-cell interface contraction to shorten the tissue along the dorsal-ventral axis. In this thesis, I show that interface contraction consists of phases of fast interface shortening and intervals of stable interface size. My data also suggests that …

Phase Field Modeling of Grain Growth in Porous Polycrystalline Solids
… field model recovers the corresponding sharp-interface dynamics of the co-evolution of grain boundaries and pores; this analysis also fixes the model kinetic parameters in terms of real materials properties. The model was used to investigate the effect of porosity on the kinetics of grain …

Describing motions in biological tissues: a continuum active model and improving measurements
… to understand how activity affects the tumour’s dynamics and the tendency to form “fingers” at its boundary. This approach rests on just four key biophysical parameters and we can estimate them based on experiments described in the literature. Our modelling of a tumour is experimentally well …

FLOW FORMING OF CAPILLARY INTERFACES: DROP IMPACT AND THE MOBILE CONTACT LINE
… remains on the surface and its liquid/gas (LG) interface does not break 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 …

Computations of bubble dynamics with heat transfer
… its industrial relevance, many important hydrodynamics and heat transfer phenomena associated with bubble flow, such as bubble formation, bubble coalescence, bubble breakup and bubble wake effect on heat transfer are still poorly understood. The primary objective of this research is to develop …

Nanoscale interface mechanics with application to magnetic storage
The study of the mechanics and dynamics of nanoscale interfaces is of great interest, particularly for cutting-edge applications such as magnetic storage, which arguably constitutes the most successful application of nanotechnology. The goal in magnetic storage is to increase the recording density …
