AbstractThe chapter reviews the basics of the effect of capillarity, i.e. the influence of interface energy on microstructure evolution in materials. This will be done from a phenomenological aspect on the one hand and related to the representation of capillarity in a phase-field model on the other hand.

Rough colloids at fluid interfaces: from fundamental science to applications
Colloidal particles pinned to fluid interfaces have applications ranging from Pickering emulsions and foams to the development of 2D materials via Langmuir-Blodgett deposition.

Interfaces endowed with non-constant surface energies revisited with the d'Alembert-Lagrange principle [PDF]
The equation of motions and the conditions on surfaces and edges between fluids and solids in presence of non-constant surface energies, as in the case of surfactants attached to the fluid particles at the interfaces, are revisited under the principle of

Simulation of the electrohydrodynamic instability process used in the fabrication of hierarchic and hollow micro/nanostructures [PDF]
This article demonstrates that the electrohydrodynamic patterning process, a novel technique for the manufacturing of micro-and nano-scale structures, also allows the one-step realization of hierarchical structures and hollow structures.

Nonlinear Free Surface Flow past a Wedge in Channel [PDF]
In this paper, the two-dimensional problem of irrotational flow past a wedge located in the center of the channel is considered. Assuming that the fluid is incompressible and non-viscous, the influence of gravity is ignored but the surface tension is ...

Clustering of floaters on the free surface of a turbulent flow: an experimental study [PDF]
We present an experimental study of the statistical properties of millimeter-size spheres floating on the surface of a turbulent flow. The flow is generated in a layer of liquid metal by an electromagnetic forcing. By using two magnet arrays, we are able

Physical and mechanical properties of foamed concrete, a literature review [PDF]
Foamed concrete has superior rheological and thermal insulation properties along with a low density and high strength/weight ratio. Also, foamed concrete has reduced manufacturing and transportation costs compared to conventional concrete and can be ...

Similarities between action potentials and acoustic pulses in a van der Waals fluid [PDF]
An action potential is typically described as a purely electrical change that propagates along the membrane of excitable cells. However, recent experiments have demonstrated that non-linear acoustic pulses that propagate along lipid interfaces and ...
