On the Stability of Surface Growth: The Effect of a Compliant Surrounding Medium by Abeyaratne, Rohan, Puntel, Eric, Tomassetti, Giuseppe

“…Solids 167:104958, 2022) concerning the stability of surface growth of a pre-stressed elastic half-space with surface tension, it was shown that steady growth is never stable, at least not for all wave numbers of the perturbations, when the growing surface is traction-free. …”

Heat Transfer Enhancement During Water and Hydrocarbon Condensation on Lubricant Infused Surfaces by Preston, Daniel John, Lu, Zhengmao, Song, Youngsup, Zhao, Yajing, Wilke, Kyle L., Antao, Dion Savio, Louis, Marcel, Wang, Evelyn

“…Dropwise condensation, where discrete droplets form on the condenser surface, offers a potential improvement in heat transfer of up to an order of magnitude compared to filmwise condensation, where a liquid film covers the surface. Low surface tension fluid condensates such as hydrocarbons pose a unique challenge since typical hydrophobic condenser coatings used to promote dropwise condensation of water often do not repel fluids with lower surface tensions. …”

Gravitationally Driven Wicking for Enhanced Condensation Heat Transfer by Preston, Daniel John, Wilke, Kyle L., Lu, Zhengmao, Cruz, Samuel Steven, Zhao, Yajing, Becerra, Laura L., Wang, Evelyn N.

“…In addition, low surface tension fluid condensates, such as hydrocarbons, pose a unique challenge because common hydrophobic condenser coatings used to shed water (with a surface tension of 73 mN/m) often do not repel fluids with lower surface tensions (<25 mN/m). …”

Drop impact on hairy surfaces by Nasto, Alice Meite, Brun, P.-T, Hosoi, Anette E.

“…Using this scenario as a reference case, we rationalize the role of the hairs in dissipating the kinetic energy of the impacting drop through a balance of inertia, viscosity, and surface tension. The various observed behaviors are classified according to scenarios in which kinetic energy is insufficient or in excess of this reference scenario, an argument that allows us to build and rationalize a phase diagram.…”

A two-dimensional model of low-Reynolds number swimming beneath a free surface by Crowdy, Darren, Lee, Sungyon, Samson, Ophir, Lauga, Eric, Hosoi, Anette E.

“…In this paper, we present an analysis of locomotion near a free surface with surface tension. Using a simplified two-dimensional singularity model and combining a complex variable approach with conformal mapping techniques, we demonstrate that the deformation of a free surface can be harnessed to produce steady locomotion parallel to the interface. …”

Geometry and wetting of capillary folding by Lauga, Eric, Peraud, Jean-Philippe Michel

“…Capillary forces are involved in a variety of natural phenomena, ranging from droplet breakup to the physics of clouds. The forces from surface tension can also be exploited in industrial applications provided the length scales involved are small enough. …”

Wetting prevention in membrane distillation through superhydrophobicity and recharging an air layer on the membrane surface by Rezaei, Mohammad, Samhaber, Wolfgang M., Warsinger, David Elan Martin, Lienhard, John H.

“…Therefore, wetting prevention is a vital criterion particularly for the treatment of solutions with lower surface tension than water. The present work examines the effect of recharging air bubbles on the membrane surface for the wetting incidence when a surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) exists in a highly concentrated NaCl aqueous solution. …”

On thermal performance of seawater cooling towers by Sharqawy, Mostafa H., Lienhard, John H., Zubair, Syed M.

“…In addition, the salinity of seawater affects the thermophysical properties that govern the thermal performance of cooling towers, including vapor pressure, density, specific heat, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension. In this paper, the thermal performance of seawater cooling towers is investigated using a detailed model of a counterflow wet cooling tower. …”
