Typical Model Studies

175
Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.

Major Losses in Pipes01:28

Major Losses in Pipes

447
When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to...

Properties of Enantiomers and Optical Activity02:24

Properties of Enantiomers and Optical Activity

16.5K
It is essential to understand the difference between chiral and achiral interactions and the implications thereof in optical activity and their applications. Just as our feet, which are chiral, interact uniquely with chiral objects, such as a pair of shoes, but identically with achiral socks, enantiomers of a molecule exhibit different properties only when they interact with other chiral media. An example of a significant implication from this facet is the phenomenon known as optical activity,...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biophysics
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Surface geometry (curvature, roughness) is critical for bio-compatible cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) functionalities.
  • Previous studies often used elastic models, insufficient for anisotropic CLC surfaces and multiscale wrinkling.
  • Human bone-marrow-derived stromal cells (hBMSCs) show alignment with curvature on CLC substrates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Characterize CLC surface geometry using a generalized anisotropic anchoring model (Rapini-Papoular model).
  • Develop analytic and numerical methods for surface wrinkling, curvature, and roughness analysis.
  • Investigate model limits and explore inverse problems for experimental parameter determination.

Main Methods:

  • Generalized anisotropic anchoring model (Rapini-Papoular model).
  • Analytic approximations and direct numerical solutions.
  • Coordinate-free differential geometric approach.

Main Results:

  • Characterization of surface wrinkling, curvature, and roughness profiles.
  • Exploration of Rapini-Papoular model limits (kurtosis, Willmore energy).
  • Demonstration that surface anchoring dictates multiscale wrinkling patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Surface anchoring is the primary driver of multiscale wrinkling in CLCs.
  • The proposed model offers insights into CLC surface functionalities and applications.
  • A general framework for studying dynamic properties and surface evolution of CLCs is established.
