A perspective on the interfacial properties of nanoscopic liquid drops

A Malijevský, G Jackson - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The structural and interfacial properties of nanoscopic liquid drops are assessed by means
of mechanical, thermodynamical, and statistical mechanical approaches that are discussed …

Does surface roughness amplify wetting?

A Malijevský - The Journal of chemical physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Any solid surface is intrinsically rough on the microscopic scale. In this paper, we study the
effect of this roughness on the wetting properties of hydrophilic substrates. Macroscopic …

The contact line behaviour of solid-liquid-gas diffuse-interface models

DN Sibley, A Nold, N Savva, S Kalliadasis - Physics of Fluids, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
A solid-liquid-gas moving contact line is considered through a diffuse-interface model with

We propose a numerical scheme based on the Chebyshev pseudo-spectral collocation
method for solving the integral and integro-differential equations of the density-functional …

Equilibrium gas–liquid–solid contact angle from density-functional theory

A Pereira, S Kalliadasis - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
We investigate the equilibrium of a fluid in contact with a solid boundary through a density-
