Jet agglomeration and dynamic adhesion forces

Influence of liquid layers on energy absorption during particle impact

“…This effect was also shown for the wetted granules in the publications of Fu, Cheong, et al (2004) and . Hogekamp, Stang, and Schubert (1994) studied the sticking behaviour of dry and wet glass and polymer spheres (diameter of 4 mm) by impact on the plexiglass wall with a liquid layer of silicon oil (Fig. 4e).…”

Numerical investigation of collision dynamics of wet particles via force balance

“…Considerable work was also done in experimental investigations of particles colliding with walls covered by thin liquid layers, e.g. in normal direction by Barnocky and Davis (1988), Hogekamp et al (1994), Davis et al (2002), Kantak et al (2005), Antonyuk et al (2009), Sutkar et al (2015), Gollwitzer et al (2012), Fu et al (2004) as well as in Crüger et al (2016a). Wet oblique collision experiments with thin liquid layers were exemplary conducted by Kantak and Davis (2004), Ma et al (2013Ma et al ( , 2015Ma et al ( , 2016, Crüger et al (2016b), Buck et al (2017).…”

Microfluidic Assembly of Homogeneous and Janus Colloid-Filled Hydrogel Granules

“…Further downstream in the device, drops are generated at the modified T-junction formed by the two oil inlets, denoted as [3] in Figure 1a. The width of the necked region where drop formation occurs is adjusted to yield granules approximately 100 µm in diameter (see Figure 1d).…”

“…Colloidal granules are widely utilized as feedstock in the ceramic, , food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. In such applications, primary particles in the colloidal size range (≤1 μm) are intentionally granulated to overcome transport and processing problems such as wall-stick, health hazards from inhalation, and inefficient compaction into pills, tablets, or other forms .…”
