Flow of evaporating, gravity-driven thin liquid films over topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The effect of topography on the free surface and solvent concentration profiles of an evaporating thin film of liquid flowing down an inclined plane is considered.

A flank modification method for spiral bevel gears based on mismatch topography adjustment

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2018
In order to improve the meshing performance or correct contact area of spiral bevel gears, a new method of tooth surface topography modification is proposed in this paper.

Flow-induced dynamic surface tension effects at nanoscale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this study is to investigate flow-induced dynamic surface tension effects, similar to the well-known Marangoni phenomena, but solely generated by the nanoscale topography of the substrates. The flow-induced surface tension effects are examined

An Experimental Investigation of Steel Surface Topography Transfer by Cold Rolling

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Automobile and household appliance panels require steel strips with extremely high-quality surfaces. Therefore, an in-depth study of the surface topography transfer of the steel strip during the rolling process is of considerable significance for ...

On the More Complex Wavelength Dependency of Airy Isostasy in Icy Shells of Ocean Worlds

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The topography of ocean worlds is often used to infer ice shell thicknesses by assuming topography is compensated by a basal root. We systematically test the stability of isostatically compensated topography in ice shells. At short horizontal wavelengths,

Extreme Sensitivity of the YORP Effect to Small-Scale Topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Radiation recoil (YORP) torques are shown to be extremely sensitive to small-scale surface topography. Starting from simulated objects representative of the near-Earth object population, random realizations of three types of small-scale topography are ...

Dynamic cutting process modelling and its impact on the generation of surface topography and texture in nano/micro cutting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the nano/micro cutting process, the surface quality is heavily dependent on all the dynamic factors, including those from the material, tooling, process parameters, servo accuracy, mechanical structural stiffness, and non-linear factors as well.

Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Topography and Drainage Structure Controlled by the Transfer of Basal Variability

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Ice flow can transfer variations in basal topography and basal slipperiness to the ice surface. Recent developments in this theory have made it possible to conduct numerical experiments to predict mesoscale surface topographical undulations and surface ...

Hierarchical Micro-Nano Topography Promotes Cell Adhesion and Osteogenic Differentiation via Integrin α2-PI3K-AKT Signaling Axis

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Surface topography dictates important aspects of cell biological behaviors. In our study, hierarchical micro-nano topography (SLM-AHT) with micro-scale grooves and nano-scale pores was fabricated and compared with smooth topography (S) and irregular ...

Efficient Image-Space Extraction and Representation of 3D Surface Topography

open access: yes, 2015
Surface topography refers to the geometric micro-structure of a surface and defines its tactile characteristics (typically in the sub-millimeter range).
