Understanding droplet collision with superhydrophobic-hydrophobic–hydrophilic hybrid surfaces
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)This study uses a two-phase finite volume method to investigate the dynamics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian droplets impacting onto hybrid surfaces with various wettabilities. Six configurations with different substrate ... -
Underwater Turbid Media Stokes-Based Polarimetric Recovery
(MDPI, 2024-02-20)Underwater optical imaging for information acquisition has always been an innovative and crucial research direction. Unlike imaging in the air medium, the underwater optical environment is more intricate. From an optical ... -
Unexpected softness of bilayer graphene and softening of A-A stacked graphene layers
(American Physical Society, 2020-03-20)Density functional theory has been used to investigate the behavior of the π electrons in bilayer graphene and graphite under compression along the c axis. We have studied both conventional Bernal (A-B) and A-A stackings ... -
A Unified Geometry Parametrization Method for Turbomachinery Blades
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)Turbomachinery design is increasingly carried out by means of automated workflows based on high-fidelity physical models and optimization algorithms. The parametrization of the blade geometry is an essential aspect of such ... -
Unlocking the potential of biofuels via reaction pathways in van Krevelen diagrams
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-10-18)Production of fuels and targeted chemicals from biomass represents a current challenge. Pyrolysis of biomass generates liquid bio-oils but these are highly complex mixtures. In order to obtain the desired products, optimized ... -
Unlocking the secrets of mutable collagenous tissue
(2018-02-01)© Biochemical Society. The mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) of echinoderms (e.g. sea cucumbers, starfish and sea urchins) is unique because of its ability to 'switch' mechanical states rapidly and reversibly - from stiff ...
