Membrane separation technology has significant advantages for treating oil-in-water
emulsions. Understanding the evolution of oil droplets could reveal the interfacial and …

Inhibiting the Leidenfrost effect has drawn extensive attention due to its detrimental impact
on heat dissipation in high-temperature industrial applications. Although hierarchical …

This study proposes a new fractal model to describe the spontaneous-imbibition process of
non-Newtonian fluids in tight reservoirs. In the new fractal model, the imbibed mass can be …

Wetting of dehydrated Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms grown on glass substrates by an
external liquid is employed as a means to investigate the complex morphology of these …

Biofilms are resilient to environmental conditions and often resistant even to strong
disinfectants. It is crucial to investigate their interfacial properties, which can be effectively …

During the development of tight oil reservoirs, there are significant occurrences of
spontaneous imbibition. Understanding the spontaneous imbibition behavior at the core …

We present a mesoscopic hydrodynamic model for a spreading drop of volatile partially
wetting liquid on a solid porous layer of small thickness. Thereby, evaporation takes place …

Deformation of thin viscous liquid films exposed to a transverse thermal gradient results in
Bénard–Marangoni instability, which would lead to the formation of micro-and nano-sized …

The wetting behavior of droplets of aqueous surfactant solutions over hydrophobic thin
PVDF porous membrane and non-porous hydrophobic PVDF film is investigated for small …

Spontaneous imbibition is auniversal phenomenon in nature, which plays asignificant role in
the two-phase flow of gas reservoirs with water. To quantitatively evaluate the spontaneous …
