Dynamic Behavior of Droplet Impact on Inclined Surfaces with Acoustic Waves.

ABSTRACT: Droplet impact on arbitrary inclined surfaces is of great interest for applications such as antifreezing, self-cleaning, and anti-infection. Research has been focused on texturing the surfaces to alter the contact time and rebouncing angle upon droplet impact. In this paper, using propagating surface acoustic waves (SAWs) along the inclined surfaces, we present a novel technique to modify and control key droplet impact parameters, such as impact regime, contact time, and rebouncing direction. A high-fidelity finite volume method was developed to explore the mechanisms of droplet impact on the inclined surfaces assisted by SAWs. Numerical results revealed that applying SAWs modifies the energy budget inside the liquid medium, leading to different impact behaviors. We then systematically investigated the effects of inclination angle, droplet impact velocity, SAW propagation direction, and applied SAW power on the impact dynamics and showed that by using SAWs, droplet impact on the nontextured hydrophobic and inclined surface is effectively changed from deposition to complete rebound. Moreover, the maximum contact time reduction up to ∼50% can be achieved, along with an alteration of droplet spreading and movement along the inclined surfaces. Finally, we showed that the rebouncing angle along the inclined surface could be adjusted within a wide range.

Droplet Asymmetric Bouncing on Inclined Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Project description:A droplet impacting on inclined surfaces yields more complex outcomes than on normal impact and the effect of the inclining angle on the impact dynamics is still in controversy. Here, we show that a drop impacting on inclined superhydrophobic surfaces exhibits an asymmetric rebound with a distinctive spreading and retraction along the lateral and tangential directions. Meanwhile, there is an obvious contact time reduction with the increase of the inclining angle and impact velocity. We demonstrate that the contact time reduction is attributed to the asymmetric drop spreading and retraction, which endows a fast drop detachment. Simple analyses are presented to interpret this phenomenon, which is in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Nanoliter-droplet acoustic streaming via ultra high frequency surface acoustic waves.

Project description:The relevant length scales in sub-nanometer amplitude surface acoustic wave-driven acoustic streaming are demonstrated. We demonstrate the absence of any physical limitations preventing the downscaling of SAW-driven internal streaming to nanoliter microreactors and beyond by extending SAW microfluidics up to operating frequencies in the GHz range. This method is applied to nanoliter scale fluid mixing.

An on-chip, multichannel droplet sorter using standing surface acoustic waves.

Project description:The emerging field of droplet microfluidics requires effective on-chip handling and sorting of droplets. In this work, we demonstrate a microfluidic device that is capable of sorting picoliter water-in-oil droplets into multiple outputs using standing surface acoustic waves (SSAW). This device integrates a single-layer microfluidic channel with interdigital transducers (IDTs) to achieve on-chip droplet generation and sorting. Within the SSAW field, water-in-oil droplets experience an acoustic radiation force and are pushed toward the acoustic pressure node. As a result, by tuning the frequency of the SSAW excitation, the position of the pressure nodes can be changed and droplets can be sorted to different outlets at rates up to 222 droplets s(-1). With its advantages in simplicity, controllability, versatility, noninvasiveness, and capability to be integrated with other on-chip components such as droplet manipulation and optical detection units, the technique presented here could be valuable for the development of droplet-based micro total analysis systems (?TAS).

Sustained Agricultural Spraying: From Leaf Wettability to Dynamic Droplet Impact Behavior.

Project description:Crop production and quality safety system have the potential to nurture human health and improve environmental sustainability. Providing a growing global population with sufficient and healthy food is an immediate challenge. However, this system largely depends on the spraying of agrochemicals. Crop leaves are covered with different microstructures, exhibiting distinct hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or even superhydrophobic wetting characteristics, thus leading to various deposition difficulties of sprayed droplets. Here, the relationship between wettability and surface microstructure in different crop leaves from biological and interfacial structural perspectives is systematically demonstrated. A relational model is proposed in which complex microstructures lead to stronger leaf hydrophobicity. And adding surfactant with a faster dynamically migrating velocity and reducing droplet size can improve agrochemical precise deposition. These contribute toward highly accurate and efficient targeted applications with fewer agrochemicals use and promote sustainable models of eco-friendly agriculture systems.

Water droplet impact on elastic superhydrophobic surfaces.

Project description:Water droplet impact on surfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and industry, where the time of contact between droplet and surface influences the transfer of mass, momentum and energy. To manipulate and reduce the contact time of impacting droplets, previous publications report tailoring of surface microstructures that influence the droplet - surface interface. Here we show that surface elasticity also affects droplet impact, where a droplet impacting an elastic superhydrophobic surface can lead to a two-fold reduction in contact time compared to equivalent rigid surfaces. Using high speed imaging, we investigated the impact dynamics on elastic nanostructured superhydrophobic substrates having membrane and cantilever designs with stiffness 0.5-7630 N/m. Upon impact, the droplet excites the substrate to oscillate, while during liquid retraction, the substrate imparts vertical momentum back to the droplet with a springboard effect, causing early droplet lift-off with reduced contact time. Through detailed experimental and theoretical analysis, we show that this novel springboarding phenomenon is achieved for a specific range of Weber numbers (We >40) and droplet Froude numbers during spreading (Fr >1). The observation of the substrate elasticity-mediated droplet springboard effect provides new insight into droplet impact physics.

Droplet Impact on Surfaces with Asymmetric Microscopic Features.

Project description:The impact of liquid drops on a rigid surface is central in cleaning, cooling, and coating processes in both nature and industrial applications. However, it is not clear how details of pores, roughness, and texture on the solid surface influence the initial stages of the impact dynamics. Here, we experimentally study drops impacting at low velocities onto surfaces textured with asymmetric (tilted) ridges. We found that the difference between impact velocity and the capillary speed on a solid surface is a key factor of spreading asymmetry, where the capillary speed is determined by the friction at a moving three-phase contact line. The line-friction capillary number Caf = μfV0/σ (where μf,V0, and σ are the line friction, impact velocity, and surface tension, respectively) is defined as a measure of the importance of the topology of surface textures for the dynamics of droplet impact. We show that when Caf ≪ 1, the droplet impact is asymmetric; the contact line speed in the direction against the inclination of the ridges is set by line friction, whereas in the direction with inclination, the contact line is pinned at acute corners of the ridges. When Caf ≫ 1, the geometric details of nonsmooth surfaces play little role.

Direct imaging of delayed magneto-dynamic modes induced by surface acoustic waves.

Project description:The magnetoelastic effect-the change of magnetic properties caused by the elastic deformation of a magnetic material-has been proposed as an alternative approach to magnetic fields for the low-power control of magnetization states of nanoelements since it avoids charge currents, which entail ohmic losses. Here, we have studied the effect of dynamic strain accompanying a surface acoustic wave on magnetic nanostructures in thermal equilibrium. We have developed an experimental technique based on stroboscopic X-ray microscopy that provides a pathway to the quantitative study of strain waves and magnetization at the nanoscale. We have simultaneously imaged the evolution of both strain and magnetization dynamics of nanostructures at the picosecond time scale and found that magnetization modes have a delayed response to the strain modes, adjustable by the magnetic domain configuration. Our results provide fundamental insight into magnetoelastic coupling in nanostructures and have implications for the design of strain-controlled magnetostrictive nano-devices.Understanding the effects of local dynamic strain on magnetization may help the development of magnetic devices. Foerster et al. demonstrate stroboscopic imaging that allows the observation of both strain and magnetization dynamics in nickel when surface acoustic waves are driven in the substrate.

Enhanced Detection in Droplet Microfluidics by Acoustic Vortex Modulation of Particle Rings and Particle Clusters via Asymmetric Propagation of Surface Acoustic Waves.

Project description:As a basis for biometric and chemical analysis, issues of how to dilute or concentrate substances such as particles or cells to specific concentrations have long been of interest to researchers. In this study, travelling surface acoustic wave (TSAW)-based devices with three frequencies (99.1, 48.8, 20.4 MHz) have been used to capture the suspended Polystyrene (PS) microspheres of various sizes (5, 20, 40 μm) in sessile droplets, which are controlled by acoustic field-induced fluid vortex (acoustic vortex) and aggregate into clusters or rings with particles. These phenomena can be explained by the interaction of three forces, which are drag force caused by ASF, ARF caused by Leaky-SAW and varying centrifugal force. Eventually, a novel approach of free transition between the particle ring and cluster was approached via modulating the acoustic amplitude of TSAW. By this method, multilayer particles agglomerate with 20 μm wrapped around 40 μm and 20 μm wrapped around 5 μm can be obtained, which provides the possibility to dilute or concentrate the particles to a specific concentration.

Nanosecond shock wave-induced surface acoustic waves and dynamic fracture at fluid-solid boundaries.

Project description:We investigate the generation and propagation characteristics of leaky Rayleigh waves (LRWs) caused by a spherical shock wave incident on a water-glass boundary both experimentally and numerically. The maximum tensile stress produced on the solid boundary is attributed to the dynamic interaction between the LRWs and an evanescent wave generated concomitantly along the boundary. The resultant tensile stress field drives the initiation of crack formation from pre-existing surface flaws and their subsequent extension along a circular trajectory, confirmative with the direction of the principal stress on the boundary. We further demonstrate that this unique ringlike fracture pattern, prevalent in damage produced by high-speed impact, can be best described by the Tuler-Butcher criterion for dynamic failure in brittle materials. The orientation of the ring fracture extension into the solid also follows closely with the trajectory of the local maximum tensile stress distribution.
