Phase-field modeling of liquids splitting between separating surfaces and its application to high-resolution roll-based printing technologies
… printing systems, controlled release of liquid ink to the substrate surface is achieved through the transport of the liquid ink through a series of ink transfer rollers in the form of splitting liquid bridges. An in-depth understanding of the liquid transport process through the ink …

Formation of microfibers and nanofibers by capillary-driven thinning of drying viscoelastic filaments
… thinning and stretching of macroscopic liquid bridges (Harfenist et al., Nano Lett., 4(10),2004). We develop a model of this process that describes the simultaneous visco-elasto-capillary thinning, stretching and drying of cylindrical filaments of polymer solutions. A one dimensional …

Investigation of glucose hydrate formation and loss: Parameters, mechanisms, and physical stability
… between particles leads to the formation of liquid bridges, which over time solidify due to dissolution and mass transfer across the liquid bridge without a change in relative humidity or temperature. The critical relative humidity for liquid bridge formation, RHcc, is dependent on particle …

An investigation of droplets and films falling over horizontal tubes
<p>Liquid films falling over horizontal-tube banks are frequently utilized in absorption heat pumps, heat-driven systems that provide an environmentally and economically attractive alternative to conventional CFC-based vapor compression cycles in certain applications. The widespread application of …

Leveraging Capillarity
… the solid surface, the donor surface, and the liquid. This bridging between surfaces is then applied to fog harps, examining the efficiencies of large-form fog harps. Fog harps have shown a 3 to 5 times increase in water collection compared to the industry-standard mesh collector. However, …

Estabilidad de puentes líquidos no axilsimétricos
… which equilibrium shapes and the stability of liquid bridges subjected to a wide variety of axisymmetric or non-axisimmetric perturbations can be calculated, has been developed here. The equations governing the steady shape of the liquid bridge and its boundary conditions have been linearized …
