The Influence Of Temperature On Dispersion Of Particles On Liquid Surfaces, Sathish Kumar Gurupatham, Valmiki Sooklal, A. Hensen, M. Conner
Faculty and Research Publications
It was shown recently that small particles and powders spontaneously disperse on liquid surfaces when they come in contact with the interface for the first time (Figure 2). This happens due to the combined effect of the capillary force, buoyant weight of the particle and the viscous drag that the particles experience when they encounter the liquid surface. The particles undergo oscillations normal to the interface before they come to the equilibrium position on the interface. These oscillations, in turn, induce a flow on the interface which disperses the particles radially outward. This phenomenon has a significant role in the …
