Water is co-produced with crude oils, generally in the form of water-in-crude oil emulsions.
The oil and water phases need to be separated before export. Separation is performed in …

In recent years, the rapid development of microfluidic technology has caused a revolutionary
impact in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and life sciences. Also, droplet control is one of …

Electric field-assisted separation is considered one of the most effective ways of dehydrating
water-in-oil emulsions. In the uniform electric field usually used in electrodehydrators …

Droplet–interface collision coalescence is an important pattern of phase separation,
especially for removing water from water-in-oil emulsions in electrostatic dehydrators …

Predicting and computing the optical radiation force and torque experienced by an elliptical
cylinder illuminated by a structured finite light-sheet beam in two dimensions (2D) remains a …

Utilization of vertical electric field can depart water droplets from superhydrophobic surfaces,
which has significant application in microfluidic and self-cleaning. Here, we studied the …

In this work, theoretical modeling and numerical computations for the electromagnetic (EM)
radiation force and torque (per-length) on perfect electrically conducting (PEC) cylinders of …

The aim of this work is to develop a formal semi-analytical model using the modal expansion
method in cylindrical coordinates to calculate the optical/electromagnetic (EM) radiation …

The electromagnetic (EM) radiation force-per-length exerted on a pair of electrically-
conducting cylindrical particles of circular and non-circular cross-sections is examined using …

The dielectrophoresis of a Newtonian uncharged drop in the presence of an axisymmetric
nonuniform DC electric field is studied analytically. The present study is focused on the …
