Download or read book Capillarity written by Arto Vaun and published by Carcanet Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can language retrieve memories and identities? A young man, a first-generation American, explores a true story of three generations of upheaval, migration and homecoming. Rooted in autobiography and in twentieth-century Armenian history, it is also a universal story. Capillarity explores the dark corners and bright expanses of an individual's desire to break out of historical circumstances and belong to a living society and a world. In Arto Vaun's spare, lyrical fragments, personal and collective anguish and hope are caringly exposed in a language both intimate and apart. The possibilities of a future lie in the dreams of language." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Open Channel Microfluidics written by Jean Berthier and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open microfluidics, the study of microflows having a boundary with surrounding air, encompasses different aspects such as paper or thread-based microfluidics, droplet microfluidics and open-channel microfluidics. Open-channel microflow is a flow at the micro-scale, guided by solid structures, and having at least a free boundary (with air or vapor) other than the advancing meniscus. This book is devoted to the study of open-channel microfluidics which (contrary to paper or thread or droplet microfluidics) is still very sparsely documented, but bears many new applications in biology, biotechnology, medicine, material and space sciences. Capillarity being the principal force triggering an open microflow, the principles of capillarity are first recalled. The onset of open-channel microflow is next analyzed and the fundamental notion of generalized Cassie angle (the apparent contact angle which accounts for the presence of air) is presented. The theory of the dynamics of open-channel microflows is then developed, using the notion of averaged friction length which accounts for the presence of air along the boundaries of the flow domain. Different channel morphologies are studied and geometrical features such as valves and capillary pumps are examined. An introduction to two-phase open-channel microflows is also presented showing that immiscible plugs can be transported by an open-channel flow. Finally, a selection of interesting applications in the domains of space, materials, medicine and biology is presented, showing the potentialities of open-channel microfluidics.
Download or read book Equilibrium Capillary Surfaces written by Robert Finn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capillarity phenomena are all about us; anyone who has seen a drop of dew on a plant leaf or the spray from a waterfall has observed them. Apart from their frequently remarked poetic qualities, phenomena of this sort are so familiar as to escape special notice. In this sense the rise of liquid in a narrow tube is a more dramatic event that demands and at first defied explanation; recorded observations of this and similar occur rences can be traced back to times of antiquity, and for lack of expla nation came to be described by words deriving from the Latin word "capillus", meaning hair. It was not until the eighteenth century that an awareness developed that these and many other phenomena are all manifestations of some thing that happens whenever two different materials are situated adjacent to each other and do not mix. If one (at least) of the materials is a fluid, which forms with another fluid (or gas) a free surface interface, then the interface will be referred to as a capillary surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface drift in the upper few centimeters of the ocean surface, produced by wind shear, is shown to modify substantially the propagation speed and energy flux of short surface waves. Two simple models are used to estimate the magnitude of the effect, a two-layer model described by G.I. Taylor and one in which the surface drift is a decaying exponential. When the waves encounter a moving current pattern of the type that would otherwise lead to blockage, the wind drift, augmenting the energy flux of the short waves, is shown to delay or prevent blockage. The modifications introduced by capillary effects in short gravity waves are also examined; surface tension provides an additional delay to possible blockage, but in cases of interest the modification is much less significant.
