  2. 1. Diffuse-Interface Simulations of Capillary Phenomena

    Author : Walter Villanueva; Gustav Amberg; Steffen Hardt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capillary-driven flows; wetting; Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes system; multicomponent and multiphase flows; parallel adaptive computing; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Fluid flows mainly driven by capillary forces are presented in this thesis. By means of modeling and simulations, interesting dynamics in capillary-driven flows are revealed such as coalescences, breakups, precursor films, flow instabilities, rapid spreading, rigid body motions, and reactive wetting.

  4. 2. Modelling of Moving Contact Lines in Two-Phase Flows

    Author : Hanna Holmgren; Gunilla Kreiss; Stefan Turek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational fluid dynamics; Two-phase flow; Contact lines; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Moving contact line problems appear in many natural and industrial processes. A contact line is formed where the interface between two immiscible fluids meets a solid wall. Examples from everyday life include raindrops falling on a window and water bugs resting on water surfaces. READ MORE

  5. 3. From Lab to Chip – and back : Polymer microfluidic systems for sample handling in point-of-care diagnostics

    Author : Jonas Hansson; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Hywel Morgan; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to the development of Lab-on-a-Chip systems that enables reliable, rapid medical diagnostics at the point-of-care. These contributions are focused on microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip systems for sepsis diagnosis, autonomous sample-to-answer tests, and dried blood spot sampling. READ MORE
