Molecular dynamics simulation of a nanoscale capillary water bridge between two planar substrates is used to determine the resulting force between the substrates without arbitrariness regarding geometry and location of the ...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study capillary liquid bridges between two planar substrates and the origin, strength and range of the resulting force between them. Pairwise interactions are described by the ...

Based on a simple numerical model for wet granular beds, we study the structural properties of wet particles subjected to tapping in terms of the global anisotropy and angular distribution presented by their contacts. The ...

We present a simple model to describe the response of a granular bed to a tapping-like excitation when grains can form capillary bridges due to the presence of interstitial liquid. We implement a pseudodynamic simulation ...

In this work we study computationally the dynamics of a liquid bridge formed between a 2D trapezoidal cavity, which represents an axisymmetric cell or a plane groove engraved in a roll, and a moving plate. The flow is a ...

Abstract. Capillary rise plays a crucial role in the construction of road embankments in flood zones, where hydrophobic compounds are added to the soil to suppress the rising of water and avoid possible damage of the ...
