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

Droplet Rolling Transport on Hydrophobic Surfaces Under Rotating Electric Fields: A Molecular Dynamics Study

“…The rotating electric field can be applied to the y – z plane in the same way. The dimensional analysis shows that the electric capillary number Ca E = ε 0 ε c E 2 R /γ is an important dimensionless number linking different scales, as shown in Note S3 in the Supporting Information. , ε c is the relative dielectric constant, which takes a vacuum value of 1. In this study, the electric field strength is in the range of 0.3–0.6 V nm –1 .…”

Study on microstructure evolution of waxy crude oil emulsions under dynamic cooling conditions

“…Sun 36 conducted experimental investigations on the viscoelastic and yield behavior during emulsion gelling process, elucidating the underlying mechanism through comprehensive analysis of experimental results. Furthermore, the collision and aggregation 37,38 of water droplets in the oil-water phase under external conditions such as shear 39 and electric eld 40,41 can be quanti-ed using statistical approaches like assessing the collision frequency and agglomeration efficiency of water droplets. [42][43][44] Subsequently, it can be utilized to forecast alterations in dynamic behavior 45 of water droplets within the system induced by microscopic phenomena like collision and aggregation, which holds immense signicance for further exploration of multidimensional behavioral characteristics exhibited by waxy crude oil emulsions.…”

Self-assembly and structures of nanoscale double emulsion droplets through coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations

“…[41][42][43][44][45][46][47] However, all-atom (AA) molecular dynamics simulations are computationally costly. [48][49][50][51][52] A coarse-grained (CG) model is an alternative way to simulate nanoscale emulsions. 53 The MARTINI CG force field [54][55][56] 57,58 and amino acids 59 and applied them in the simulation of self-assembly systems.…”

“…41–47 However, all-atom (AA) molecular dynamics simulations are computationally costly. 48–52 A coarse-grained (CG) model is an alternative way to simulate nanoscale emulsions. 53 The MARTINI CG force field 54–56 was developed in 2003 by Marrink et al for a broad range of applications.…”
