Electrical response of nanofluidic systems subjected to viscosity gradients
Author(s): Ramadan Abu-Rjal, Zuzanna S. Siwy, and Yoav Green
Nanofluidic systems subject to viscosity gradients are ubiquitous to technology and nature, including desalination and energy harvesting systems that utilize fresh water and seawater, thermoionics that leverage large temperature gradients of an electrolyte, and even ion channels that are sandwiched …

Molecular simulation of the initial stages of drop coalescence
Author(s): Aaditya U. Joshi, Osman A. Basaran, and David S. Corti
Drop coalescence plays a crucial role in nature and industry. In continuum theory, after the two drops are taken to touch at a point at the onset of coalescence, two scaling regimes for the temporal growth of the bridge connecting the drops have been identified. Coalescence, however, is initiated a…

Capillary-pressure saturation relation derived from the pore morphology method
Author(s): Fernando Alonso-Marroquin and Martin P. Andersson
A computationally efficient method to calculate the capillary pressure-saturation relations of immiscible multiphase flow on two-dimensional pore morphologies is presented. The method is an extension of the porous morphology method that includes the wetting angle and trapped mechanism of the displac…
