Multiscale Poromechanics of Wet Cement Paste [PDF]
Capillary effects such as imbibition-drying cycles impact the mechanics of granular systems over time. A multiscale poromechanics framework was applied to cement paste, that is the most common building material, experiencing broad humidity variations over the lifetime of infrastructure.

Capillary Action in a Crack on the Surface of Asteroids with an Application to 433 Eros [PDF]
Some asteroids contain water ice, and a space mission landing on an asteroid may take liquid to the surface of the asteroid. Gas pressure is very weak on the surface of asteroids. Here we consider the capillary action in a crack on the surface of irregular asteroids. The crack is modelled as a capillary which has a fixed radius. An asteroid s irregular

Nonequilibrium capillary self-assembly [PDF]
Macroscopic objects supported by surface tension at the fluid interface can self-assemble through the action of capillary forces arising from interfacial deformations. The resulting self-assembled structures are ordered but remain trapped in one of potentially many metastable states in the capillary energy landscape.

Gravity-capillary waves on the free surface of a liquid dielectric in a tangential electric field [PDF]
Processes of propagation and interaction of nonlinear gravity-capillary waves on the free surface of a deep non-conducting liquid with high dielectric constant under the action of a tangential electric field are numerically simulated. The computational method is based on the time-dependent conformal transformation of the region occupied by the fluid ...

Analogy in the processes of heat exchange of capillary-porous coatings in energy installations [PDF]
A model of the dynamics of steam bubbles generating on a solid surface in porous structures and a steam-generating wall (substrate) is developed. The model is based on the filming and photography with speed camera SKS-1M. The removal of high heat fluxes (

Controlling light in optical systems quickly and easily is crucial for all-optical switching. An approach that does this by exploiting the condensation of gases in a porous structure could open up new avenues in the switching field.

Capillary Rise in Tubes with Sharp Grooves [PDF]
Liquid in grooved capillaries, made by e.g. inserting a plate in a cylindrical tube, exhibits unusual spreading and flow properties. One example is capillary rise, where a long, upward tongue on top of the usual meniscus has been observed along the groove.

Hemorrhage Caused by Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: A Journey of Discovery and Understanding
The historical development of discoveries and conceptual frames for understanding the hemorrhagic activity induced by viperid snake venoms and by hemorrhagic metalloproteinases (SVMPs) present in these venoms is reviewed. Histological and ultrastructural
