Effects of gravity and surface morphology on droplet contact angles and wetting state

Z Tang, B Xu, X Wang, Z Chen - Microgravity Science and Technology, 2022 - Springer
Hydrophobic surfaces have been widely applied for self-cleaning and enhanced heat
transfer, and microstructures are closely linked to surface wettability. In this paper, the lattice …

Thermocapillary bubble oscillations and migration in a vibrating cylinder in a zero-gravity environment

Y Alhendal, S Touzani, A Turan, A Cheddadi - Microgravity Science and …, 2023 - Springer
Bubble migration in a vibrating zero gravity environment is numerically investigated using
ANSYS-FLUENT software. A 3D CFD model is developed describing the two-phase flow of a …
