Transforming Droplets into Liquid Films in Nanochannels under Rotating Electric Fields Studied by Molecular Dynamics

Wenchuan Liu et al.

Summary: It is proposed to use a rotating electric field to stretch a droplet into a liquid film pinned to the channel inner wall as an active liquid valve. Molecular dynamics simulations prove that droplets in nanochannels can be stretched and expanded into closed liquid films under the action of rotating electric fields. The formation of the liquid film occurs through gradual expansion and liquid column rotation, with increased electric field strength and angular frequency favoring liquid film closing.

Tailoring vapor film beneath a Leidenfrost drop

An Li et al.

Summary: The authors demonstrate how to manipulate drops by cutting the Leidenfrost film using chemically heterogeneous surfaces. They show that a segmented film cut by a Z-shaped pattern can spin a drop, with the superhydrophilic region directly contacting the drop and vaporizing the water, while a vapor film is formed on the superhydrophobic surrounding to reduce heat transfer. Furthermore, they reveal the general principle between the pattern symmetry design and the drop dynamics.

Wetting-State-Induced Turning of Water Droplet Moving Direction on the Surface

Shaoqian Hao et al.

Summary: The spontaneous directional movement of water droplets on a wedge-shaped groove has attracted attention, but the complete control of their movement direction and the underlying mechanism are still not fully understood. Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical analyses reveal that the wetting state of the droplet on the surface determines its movement direction. Water droplets in the Wenzel and Cassie states move towards the diverging and converging ends of the wedge-shaped groove respectively, due to the opposite roles played by the substrate and upper layers. Additionally, the droplet is likely to move faster on a surface with a higher groove, larger opening angle, and stronger hydrophobicity. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of droplet movement and provide insights for regulating the direction of droplet movement on groove surfaces.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the three-phase coexistence line of sI methane hydrates. Different water and methane models were employed at various pressures. The results showed that the TIP4P/Ice water model agreed well with experimental data at higher pressures, while the OPC water model showed deviations. The improved OPC model had a better prediction for the hydrate equilibrium temperature at 4 MPa.

Binary droplet interactions in shear water-in-oil emulsion: A molecular dynamics study

Wenchuan Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the shear field and binary droplet interaction regimes of water-in-oil emulsions between parallel gold plates using molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The effects of different pressures on the interactions were compared, and it was found that heptane forms adsorbed layers on the gold plates and creates a no-slip uniform shear field driven by the parallel plates. Three main binary droplet interaction regimes were identified: coalescence, temporary bridge formation, and sliding. The study provides insights into the understanding of binary droplet interactions in shear emulsions.

Surface-Mounted Dipolar Molecular Rotors Driven by External Electric Field, As Revealed by Torque Analyses

Yan-Ling Zhao et al.

Summary: By using quantum-mechanical computations in combination with torque analyses, we studied the rotational trend of surface-mounted dipolar rotors. The results showed that the lag angle between the dipolar arm and the E-field sensitively affected the magnitude and direction of torque vectors. Maintaining a specific lag angle was necessary for the unidirectional rotation of the rotors. Additionally, the thermal effect could significantly impact the rotation speed, with more flexible dipolar arms exhibiting a more rigid geometry in the E-field.

Dynamic behaviors and self-cleaning property of droplet on superhydrophobic coating in uniform DC electric field

Shuai Ren et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the self-cleaning property of superhydrophobic coating and the critical motion conditions of droplets in an electric field theoretically. An experimental platform was set up to observe droplet movement under the influence of an electric field, and the critical electric field strength for droplet motion was measured. The results show that the critical electric field strength for positive droplet motion is lower than that for negative droplets, and droplets can remove water-insoluble pollution particles under electric field drive. The theoretical calculation method of the sliding angle of superhydrophobic coating in a uniform DC electric field is in good agreement with experimental results.

Tae Woo Kwon et al.

Summary: The study investigated the dynamic behavior of a nanosized water droplet on flat and stepped surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that increasing wetting gradient allowed the water droplet to move smoothly, while increasing step height obstructed the water droplet from climbing. The dynamic behavior was classified into three types based on the variation of step height and adhesion energies between surfaces.
