Surface tension: permeability, the body, and installation
Surface Tension – Permeability, the Body, and Installation, is comprised of a multimedia installation and an accompanying minor thesis. The concurrent points of departure for both are the body and the medium of installation itself, exploring their sympathies with the lens of permeability. The …

Surface tension and electroporation of lipid bilayers
… behavior is known to be largely dictated by surface energy. We hypothesize that this surface energy can be described by separate head and tail components of the lipid molecules, which can be obtained experimentally. In this thesis, we demonstrated a basic ability to electroporate lipid …

Thermocapillary Convection During Laser Surface Heating (Surface Tension)
The fluid flow and the heat transfer during laser surface heating are studied. Surface tension gradient is identified as the dominant force from an order of magnitude consideration. Mathematical models for the thermocapillary convection within the molten pool are thus formulated. The models are …

An experimental investigation of the surface tension of seawater
Surface tension of seawater was measured for absolute salinities S = (20.01, 35.18, 40.49, 79.39, 121.54) g/kg across a temperature range of T = (0 - 90)°C at atmospheric pressure using the Wilhelmy plate method. The uncertainty within measurements varied between 0.04 - 0.33 mN/m with the average …

Numerical Methods for Compressible Multi-phase flows with Surface Tension
… phenomena occurring at the interface, such as surface tension effects, heat transfer and friction. This is because of the interactions of the fluids at the phase interface and its complex geometry. So the accurate simulation of compressible multi-phase flows with surface tension effects is …

Determining the surface tension of gas-liquid interfaces through metadynamics
The measurement of surface tension γ provides information on the behaviour of phases at an interface. γ can be determined both experimentally and through computer simulation. Here, a gas-liquid interface is constructed and simulated in order to determine the value of gas-liquid interfacial surface …

Long Time Dynamics of Spherical Objects Governed by Surface Tension
… operator, hence relating to motions governed by surface tension. The mean curvature operator makes both problems highly nonlinear. In the first part of this thesis, we study the long time behavior of an idealistic model of elastic membrane driven by surface tension and inner air pressure. The …

Enhanced condensation heat transfer for water and low surface tension fluids
… hydrophobic monolayer coatings. Meanwhile, low surface tension condensates pose a unique challenge since they often form a film, even on hydrophobic coatings. Lubricant infused surfaces (LIS) represent a potential solution, where a lubricant immiscible with the low surface tension condensate is …

Some Controllability and Stabilization Problems of Surface Waves on Water with Surface tension
… equations are used and it is assumed that the surface tension on the free surface is not zero. Two types of generators are considered, flexible and rigid. For the flexible case, it is shown that the system is exactly controllable. For the rigid case, the system is not exactly controllable in a …
