Flow and evaporation of pure liquids and (nano)-suspensions from structured coatings (A04)

• Subject Area: Technical Thermodynamics ; Fluid Mechanics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 265191195

The project focuses on deepening the understanding of momentum, heat and mass transport phenomena in the wetting of porous coatings. In funding period 3, (i) the impact of a droplet and the imbibition of the liquid into a porous surface coating, (ii) the interactions between several droplets on the coated surface, (iii) the wetting and dewetting at a defined velocity and (iv) at a defined centrifugal force are considered. The wet-ting, imbibition and evaporation of viscoelastic liquids, surfactant solutions and nanosuspensions on heat-ed and unheated substrates are investigated.
