A particle finite element method (PFEM) based model is proposed to analyze droplet dynamics problems, particularly droplet spreading on solid substrates (wetting). The model uses an updated Lagrangian framework to formulate the governing equations of the liquid. Curvature of the liquid surface is...

The phenomena of droplet spreading and imbibition has widespread application in membrane science. It is widely believed that the membrane flux increases with greater hydrophilicity. In porous membranes, the spreading and permeation occur at the same time, and these separate but competitive...

Active control over the spreading of a liquid can be the avenue of endless opportunities. This spreading is dictated by the surface energy of a solid surface in which the wetting of a given liquid is quantified by the Young's contact angle. This quantification is the outcome of the interactions...

This thesis delves into the intricate dynamics of water droplet freezing, a phenomenon with profound implications across a spectrum of fields including climate science, anti-icing technologies, and cryogenic 3D printing. The influence of heat transfer on the wettability and freezing processes of...
