The elastic substrate is modeled as a cubic lattice of mass-springs, to which an energy term controlling the change of volume is associated. The interfacial energy between three phases of solid, liquid, and vapor is also introduced. Under the constant volume constraint of the liquid drop, the total energy of the system is subjected to a numerical minimization process by which profiles of both substrate and drop are obtained. The numerical simulation enables the modeling of the wetting setup with various parameters associated with solid and liquid phases, including the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the solid, the surface tension of the three phases, and geometrical parameters such as the contact radius or thickness of the solid. The direct outputs of the minimization process are the displacements of the solid lattice and boundary points of the liquid, by which the behavior of all relevant quantities, such as contact angles in the three phases, as well as the effective surface tension of the solid, can be quantitatively studied. The resulting displacements of the solid are compared with the exact solution of the elasticity equation under the assumption of no tangential traction, and a quite satisfactory agreement is observed. However, at larger Young’s modulus or lower Poisson’s ratios the agreement between the numerical results and the analytical solutions is lost in the vicinity of the contact points. Interestingly, a non-zero tangential traction in the vicinity of contact points is calculated by the numerical outputs, indicating that the assumption of zero tangential traction is not valid generally around the contact points. The effective surface tension at the contact points is calculated for an incompressible solid substrate, showing a linear increase with respect to the Young’s modulus of the solid, as <span>(delta gamma =c,E)</span>.</p>","PeriodicalId":790,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal E","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142995538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique is applied to the specific case of oil droplets with a depletion interaction, dispersed in an aqueous solution. The experimental setup involves creating a short string of droplets while immobilizing a single droplet. The droplets are held together via depletion interactions, and a single cohesive bond holds together nearest neighbours. Initially, the buoyant droplets are held in a flat horizontal chamber. The droplets float to the top of the chamber and are in contact with a flat glass interface. In the horizontal configuration, there is no component of the effective buoyant force acting in the plane of the chamber. The angle of the chamber is gradually increased, and the effective buoyant force acting on the string of droplets slowly increases. At a critical point, when the combination of gravity and buoyancy is equal to the cohesive force, the droplet string will detach from the immobile droplet. Our method allows for a simple direct measurement of cohesive forces on the tens of pico-Newton scale. To illustrate the validity of this technique, the droplet radii and concentration of depletant are varied, and their impact on the cohesive force is measured.

In this work, we conducted experimental and theoretical analyses on the dynamic interplay among channels during immiscible displacement under varying flow rates. In a rock-structured microfluidic chip, we observed typical displacement patterns, including viscous fingering and capillary fingering, and analyzed their frontiers and efficiencies. Interestingly, we discovered a novel 'V'-shaped recovery rate pattern, which differs from the monotonic curve considered in previous research. The recovery rate reaches its lowest point at an injection rate of 1 μL/min (42%), increasing to 55 and 65% at rates of 16 and 0.1 μL/min, respectively. This increase may attribute to all-directional displacement at lower rates and multi-fingering displacement at higher rates, contrasting with primary fingering displacement observed at intermediate rates. Furthermore, we developed a dual-tube model to investigate the dynamic mechanisms between adjacent channels during the displacement process. At high injection rates, an increase in low-viscosity fluid rapidly reduces overall average viscosity of the channels, accelerating displacement while hindering the displacement process in neighboring channels. Conversely, at low injection rates, increased capillary forces at pore-throat junctions delay breakthrough in one channel, promoting simultaneous displacement in parallel channels and ensuring stability.
