Formation and break up of microscale liquid jetsHunter, Hanif 12 January 2009 (has links)
The evolution of column instabilities that lead to break up of a microscale liquid jet is studied experimentally using shadowgraph technique. The jet formation is investigated over a range of Reynolds number, Pressure Ratio, and Ohnesorge number which are varied by the driving pressure, observation chamber pressure, and the jet liquid. Over the range of these parameters, the jet experiences different break up mechanisms as a result of different dominant instabilities. The present investigation discusses both break up mechanisms that are similar to the break up of macroscale jets and some new microscale break up phenomena.

Self-organization in thin metal films under laser irradiation / Plonų metalų sluoksnių savitvarkos lazerio spinduliuotės poveikyje tyrimas ir modeliavimasGedvilas, Mindaugas 22 November 2011 (has links)
The aim of this PhD thesis is to find out mechanisms of the ripple initiation and formation in the chromium thin film on the glass substrate. To learn to control the ripple formation and to apply it for fabrication of diffraction gratings. In this thesis, the experimental and theoretical results of new self-organization effect of the metal thin film on the glass substrate under irradiation with a sequence of partially overlapping laser pulses are presented. The method for formation of the regular ripples and results on investigation of diffractive properties of the self-organized gratings is presented. Different types of metals are used in experiments in order to understand the reasons of regular structure formation in chromium film. A diverse behavior of the films under laser irradiation is observed depending on the metal when burst of partially overlapping pulses was applied. Experimental data is compared with simulations based on different physical phenomena in order to develop and confirm a model of ripple formation in thin chromium film under its irradiation with pulses of a nanosecond laser. The Plateau-Rayleigh instability of the cylindrical ridge formation during laser ablation appears to be the most probable process responsible for initiation of the ripple formation. The Marangoni convection of the molten metal from hot areas to cold is the stabilizing process of steady ripple formation. / Disertacijos darbo tikslas yra suprasti pagrindinius fizikinius mechanizmus, lemiančius raibulių susidarymą.

Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: Nesta tese, investigou-se a eletrização e os mecanismos de acúmulo de carga em gotas de água e filmes de polietileno, bem como, avaliou-se o efeito das cargas elétricas em algumas propriedades desses materiais. A eletrização de água foi realizada de duas formas: pelo contato com uma superfície metálica polarizada ou expondo as gotas de água a um potencial eletrostático criado através do ar por um eletrodo sem contato. Em ambos os casos, observou-se que a água adquire excesso de cargas e que o valor detectado excede o limite de Rayleigh em algumas dezenas. Verificou-se que a presença de cargas em gotas de água leva à diminuição de sua tensão superficial e ao aumento espontâneo de sua área, por outro lado, não foi observada mudança na sua densidade. O reconhecimento desses fatos deve contribuir para uma maior compreensão de vários fenômenos eletrostáticos que ocorrem na presença de água em estado líquido ou adsorvida. A superfície superior e inferior de filmes de polietileno expostos à descarga corona adquire potencias elevados e opostos formando um filme dipolar. No entanto, a molhabilidade, a composição química e a rugosidade das duas superfícies são bastante diferentes. Enquanto a superfície superior é modificada pelo tratamento corona, a superfície inferior, apesar de se tornar eletrizada, permanece inalterada após o tratamento. Estes resultados mostram que a eletrização da superfície voltada para o eletrodo corona ocorre por um processo diferente da superfície oposta. A eletrização da superfície inferior durante o processo corona abre possibilidades para aplicações onde seja desejável ter um filme eletrizado, porém sem modificar as características originais da superfície / Abstract: In this thesis, we investigated charging process and the mechanism of charge build-up in water droplets and polyethylene films as well. We evaluated the effect of electrical charges on some properties of these materials. Charging of water drops was done using two different methods by: contacting an electrified metal or exposing water to the electrostatic potential created through air by a noncontacting biased electrode. In both cases, water drops acquire net electric charge and its value exceeds the Rayleigh limit in a few tens. It was verified that the presence of charges in water droplets leads to reduced surface tension and increased spontaneous its area, but there was no change in density. Recognition of these facts should contribute to further understanding of various electrostatic phenomena taking place in the presence of liquid or adsorbed water. Top and bottom surfaces of polyethylene (PE) films exposed to corona discharge display large and opposite electrostatic potentials, forming an electric bilayer. However, water wetting, chemical composition and roughness of the two surfaces are quite different. While the top surface is modified by corona treatment, the bottom surface is charged but remains unchanged after treatment. These results show that poling the surface closer to the corona electrode triggers another but different charge build-up process at the opposite surface. Charging of the bottom surface during corona opens possibilities for applications where it is desirable to have a polymer film charged, but without modifying the original characteristics of the surface / Doutorado / Físico-Química / Doutora em Ciências

Destabilisation and Failure of Cylindrical Nanopores : A Phase Field StudyJoshi, Chaitanya January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Phase field models have played an important role in shaping our understanding of a variety of micro structural phenomena in materials. Their attractive features include (a) their ability to capture instabilities in microstructures, and (b) their ability to handle topological transitions { such as splitting or coalescence { gracefully. Therefore, we have chosen to use a phase field model in our study of instabilities in cylindrical pores in nanoporous membranes which eventually lead to their failure. Our study is motivated by recent studies on thermal stability of nanoporous membranes of alumina, titania and zirconia.
The key feature in our model is its ability to incorporate surface discussion as the mechanism for mass transport. We first benchmark the model through a critical comparison of our results on early stages of surface evolution during Rayleigh instability and grain boundary grooving with those from linear theories of these phenomena. We have then used longer simulations (which go beyond early stages, and therefore, can incorporate non-lineare effects) to study instabilities in a hollow cylinder in three different systems: single crystal or amorphous solid (which fails through Rayleigh instability), a model sys-tem with parallel grain boundaries (which fails through grain boundary grooving), and a polycrystal (whose failure depends on a combination of grain growth and grooving). In all the cases, the surface energy is assumed to be isotropic, and the operative mechanism for mass transport is assumed to be surface discussion.

Multimaterial Fibers And Tapers A Platform For Nonlinear Photonics And NanotechnologyShabahang, Soroush 01 January 2014 (has links)
The development of optical sources and components suitable for the mid-infrared is crucial for applications in this spectral range to reach the maturity level of their counterparts in the visible and near-infrared spectral regimes. The recent commercialization of quantum cascade lasers is leading to further interest in this spectral range. Wideband mid-infrared coherent sources, such as supercontinuum generation, have yet to be fully developed. A mid-infrared supercontinuum source would allow for unique applications in spectroscopy and sensing. Over the last decade, it has been shown that high-index confinement in highly nonlinear fibers pumped with high-peak-power pulses is an excellent approach to supercontinuum generation in the visible and near-infrared. Nonlinear waveguides such as fibers offer an obvious advantage in increasing the nonlinear interaction length maintained with a small cross section. In addition, fiber systems do not require optical alignment and are mechanically stable and robust with respect to the environmental changes. These properties have made fiber systems unique in applications where they are implemented in a harsh and unstable environment. In extending this approach into the mid-infrared, I have used chalcogenide glass fibers. Chalcogenide glasses have several attractive features for this application: they have high refractive indices for high optical-confinement, have a wide transparency window in the mid-infrared, and have a few orders-of-magnitude higher nonlinearity than silica glass and other mid-IR glasses. Producing chalcogenide glass fiber tapers offer, furthermore, the possibility of dispersion control and stronger field confinement and hence higher nonlinearity, desired for supercontinuum generation.

Erzeugung und Untersuchung von schnellen Mikrotropfen für Reinigungsanwendungen / Generation and investigation of fast micro drops with respect to cleaning applicationsFrommhold, Philipp Erhard 20 May 2015 (has links)
Seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert ist ein wachsendes wissenschaftliches Interesse an Tropfen und den Vorgängen bei deren Aufprall auf die verschiedensten Substrate zu verzeichnen, wohl auch durch die Fotografien von Worthington (1908) ausgelöst. Inzwischen wurden viele Erkenntnisse durch große Fortschritte bei der experimentellen Untersuchung (z.B. mittels Hochgeschwindigkeitsaufnahmen) und durch theoretische und computergestützte Untersuchung (z.B. durch skalenfreie und numerische Modellierung) gewonnen. Trotzdem bleibt durch die Vielfältigkeit und Komplexität der Phänomene während des Tropfenaufpralls sowie wegen der ständig erweiterten Anwendungsbereiche dieses Forschungsgebiet hochaktuell. Insbesondere sehr kleine und gleichzeitig sehr schnelle Tropfen (Tropfendurchmesser 10µm bis 100µm, Tropfengeschwindigkeit 10m/s bis 100m/s) kommen in vielen modernen Anwendungen vor (z.B. Verbrennungsmotoren, Tintenstrahldrucker, Reinigung von Oberflächen). In diesem wichtigen, aber für Untersuchungen schwer zugänglichen Parameterbereich gibt es immer noch offene Fragen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit diesen schnellen Mikrotropfen in Bezug auf ihre Herstellung und den Aufprallvorgang auf ein festes, trockenes oder benetztes Substrat.
Zunächst wird eine Methode zur Erzeugung eines Hochgeschwindigkeitssprays realisiert, welche auf dem durch Ultraschall gesteuerten Plateau-Rayleigh-Zerfall eines Flüssigkeitsstrahls beruht. Sie ermöglicht es, sowohl Tropfengröße als auch –geschwindigkeit präzise und mit hoher Reproduzierbarkeit über den gesamten oben angegebenen Parameterbereich einzustellen. Durch gezielte Manipulation eines Einzeltropfens durch elektrische Felder wird anschließend der Tropfenaufprall auf Substrate unterschiedlicher Benetzbarkeit mit sehr hoher zeitlicher Auflösung (ca. 100 Mio. Bilder pro Sekunde) bei gleichzeitig hoher räumlicher Auflösung (< 1µm) untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass bekannte Modelle für langsamere und größere Tropfen im Millimeterbereich auch für schnelle Mikrotropfen Gültigkeit behalten. Somit ist bei gleichen dimensionslosen Kennzahlen (z.B. Reynolds-Zahl, Weber-Zahl, Ohnesorge-Zahl) eine skalenfreie Beschreibung des Tropfenaufpralls möglich. Schließlich wird die Methode zur Tropfenerzeugung auf einen für Anwendungen in der Reinigung relevanten Fall übertragen. Hierbei geht es um den Tropfenaufprall auf ein von einem Flüssigkeitsfilm überströmten Substrat. Es werden die während des Auftreffvorgangs auftretenden Geschwindigkeiten in der sich bildenden radialen Strömung in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Prozessparametern bestimmt. Aus den Ergebnissen lassen sich Aussagen über die zu erwartende Reinigungswirkung durch derartige Tropfen und den Einfluss der Prozessparameter treffen.

Etude expérimentale de polyélectrolytes hydrophobes modèlesBaigl, Damien 11 September 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Un polyélectrolyte hydrophobe est un polymère portant des charges électriques lorsqu'il est en solution aqueuse et dont l'eau est un mauvais solvant pour le squelette. Cette thèse a pour objectif d'établir l'influence de la nature hydrophobe du squelette sur les propriétés physiques des polyélectrolytes. Pour cela, nous avons tout d'abord synthétisé une série de poly(styrène-\emph(co)-styrènesulfonate de sodium), appelés PSS, possédant des taux de charge $f$ variant entre 30\% et 100\% et comportant entre $N=120$ et $N=2520$ monomères par chaîne. Ces PSS sont caractérisés précisément et peuvent être considérés comme des polyélectrolytes hydrophobes modèles. Nous avons alors étudié leurs propriétés volumiques puis interfaciales.\\ \emph(1. Propriétés en volume.) Le taux de charge effectif de la chaîne unique est anormalement réduit par rapport au cas du polyélectrolyte hydrophile. D'autre part, les propriétés structurales ont été caractérisées par la diffusion des rayons X et la technique de la sonde colloïdale en microscopie à force atomique (AFM). La conformation des chaînes se fait ressentir puisque la longueur de corrélation varie comme $N^0C_p^(-\alpha)$ où $C_p$ est la concentration en polymère et $\alpha$ un exposant dépendant de $f$, décroissant de 1/2 ($f=100\%$) à 1/3 au voisinage de la limite de solubilité. Ces observations sont interprétées dans le cadre d'un modèle théorique prédisant la conformation de la chaîne isolée comme un collier de perles, constitué de globules denses (les perles) reliés deux à deux par un segment de chaîne étirée. La dynamique collective des chaînes, quant à elle, est très proche de celle des polyélectrolytes hydrophiles.\\ \emph(2. Propriétés aux interfaces.) Nous avons conçu une expérience permettant, par adsorption électrostatique ou hydrophobe, de fixer les chaînes de PSS sur une surface solide plane modifiée chimiquement. La couche de PSS adsorbée, immergée dans l'eau, est caractérisée $in~situ$ par ellipsométrie, réflectivité des rayons X haute énergie et microscopie à force atomique. Nous avons ainsi trouvé que la taille de perles varie entre 1 et 5 nm en fonction de $f$. Cette variation est en parfait accord avec les prédictions du modèle dit du collier de perles. Enfin, les polyélectrolytes hydrophobes s'adsorbent également aux interfaces hydrophobes, les perles, dans certains cas, s'étalant sur la surface.
