Numerische Modellierung der Dynamik von Nano- und Mikropartikeln an oder in der Nähe einer Grenzfläche zwischen zwei nicht-mischbaren Fluiden basierend auf einer Partikelmethode
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
In brief, the main results of the project are Inclusion of static and dynamic wetting phenomenainto a mesh-free particle code; development and validation of a mesh-free particle code for the Landau LifshitzNavier-Stokesequations; modelling and numerical simulation of the interaction of a rigid body with a compressible and incompressible fluctuating fluid; modelling and numerical simulation of the interaction of a rigid body with a rarefied gas; development and numerical investigation of a multi-scale mesh-free method for interacting particle systems; the structure of the EDL in the vicinity of a three-phase contact line has been computed; the influence of the EDL on the observed wetting angle of an electrolyte on a solid and the corresponding contribution of the EDL to the line tension have been quantified; the EDL structure around a spherical particle attached to a fluid interface has been computed; analytical expressions for the dynamic interface deformation due to a particle moving along a fluid interface and the particle tilt angle have been obtained for the case of large viscosity contrast between the fluids; the corresponding dynamic capillary interaction between two close-by particles moving along a fluid interface has been quantified; the low-Reynolds number drag force of a spherical particle attached to a fluid interface and moving along it has been computed for the case of large viscosity contrast between the fluids. Particles at fluid interfaces constitute a research area that has received increasing attention in the past few years. The analytical results obtained in the framework of this projects are relevant in a number of different areas. Examples are pickering emulsions, liquid marbles or flotation processes for which a better understanding of static and dynamic effects due to particles attached to fluid interfaces are of fundamental importance. On the one hand, we were able to provide closed-form expressions referring to phenomena that have been known before, such as the influence of EDLs on the observed contact angle of an electrolyte wetting a solid. On the other hand, we could uncover novel phenomena that the scientific community has not been aware of before, such as the deformation of the fluid interface by a moving particle and the corresponding dynamic capillary particle-particle interaction.
