Modeling Pendular Liquid Bridges with a Reducing Solid–Liquid Interface

A Conductance Study of Reducing Volume Liquid Bridges

“…Had the decreasing contact angle reached the receding contact angle value, it would have remained at this value and then the contact line would have begun to slip on the rod. This is similar to what is shown in the work of Peppin et al (25,26), where the actual contact angle initially decreases and then remains constant as the separation distance between the supporting solids increases. Yet, in our experiments the regime of constant contact angle (slipping contact line) is never reached since the rupture of the bridge happens well above the receding contact angle value.…”

Modeling the Evolution and Rupture of Pendular Liquid Bridges in the Presence of Large Wetting Hysteresis

“…For the parabolic profile the determination of the three 3 unknown parameters α, β, δ, comes from the solution of the system given by Eq. [16], where V liq is the measured liquid volume calculated from the after rupture liquid distribution as shown in the last frame of Fig. 1.…”

Modeling the evolution and rupture of stretching pendular liquid bridges

“…A comprehensive chronological review of the research up to 1980 concerning the pendular bridges between solid bodies was conducted by Mehrotra and Sastry (1980), who showed that significant improvements could be made in this area. Following their review, a significant amount of research was conducted in this area, with the following two major goals: (1) improving the force and energy expressions associated with pendular liquid bridges (e.g., Chan and Horn, 1985;Darabi et al, 2009;Ennis et al, 1990Ennis et al, , 1991Lian et al, 1993;Mazzone et al, 1987;Mikami et al, 1998;Pitois et al, 2000Pitois et al, , 2001Simons et al, 1994;Soulie et al, 2006) and (2) obtaining a better understanding of the stability and modeling the evolution of pendular liquid bridges (Dai and Lu, 1998;De Bisschop and Rigole, 1982;Lian et al, 1993;Mazzone et al, 1986;Pepin et al, 2000aPepin et al, , 2000bShi and McCarthy, 2008).…”
