Title: | Molecular Perspective of Static Wetting: Simulation and Theory | ||||
Language: | English | ||||
Abstract: | In our daily life and many of industrial applications, we usually find fluids which interact with solid substrates. Although a lot of researches have been carried out and new developments have been made to understand the wetting phenomena at the macroscopic scale, little is known at the nanoscale due the limitation of the experimental methods. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used as a powerful tool during the last years to perform a detailed and comprehensive study of wetting problems, in addition to what has been done experimentally. One could use MD simulations to indirectly describe the macroscopic behavior of the system, while at the microscopic scale very details of the system can be revealed by MD simulations. In this thesis, understanding of the wetting phenomena at the molecular scale is developed by means of MD simulations and statistical thermodynamics. |
