Effective surface dilatational viscosity of highly concentrated particle-laden interfaces

The effective surface dilatational viscosity is calculated of a flat interface separating two immiscible fluids laden with half-immersed monodisperse rigid spherical non-Brownian particles in the limit of high particle concentration. The derivation is based upon the facts that (i) highly-concentrated particle arrays in a plane form hexagonal structure, and (ii) the dominant contribution to the viscous dissipation rate arises in the thin gaps between neighboring particles.

Effective surface shear viscosity of an incompressible particle-laden fluid interface

The presence of even small amount of surfactant at the particle-laden fluid interface subjected to shear makes surface flow incompressible if the shear rate is small enough [T. M. Fischer et al, J. Fluid Mech. 558, 451 (2006)]. In the present paper the effective surface shear viscosity of a flat, low-concentration, particle-laden incompressible interface separating two immiscible fluids is calculated. The resulting value is found to be 7.6% larger than the value obtained without account for surface incompressibility.

Role of three-body interactions in formation of bulk viscosity in liquid argon

With the aim of locating the origin of discrepancy between experimental and computer simulation results on bulk viscosity of liquid argon, a molecular dynamic simulation of argon interacting via ab initio pair potential and triple-dipole three-body potential has been undertaken. Bulk viscosity, obtained using Green-Kubo formula, is different from the values obtained from modeling argon using Lennard-Jones potential, the former being closer to the experimental data. The conclusion is made that many-body inter-atomic interaction plays a significant role in formation of bulk viscosity.

Saddle-splay modulus of a particle-laden fluid interface

The scaled-particle theory equation of state for the two-dimensional hard-disk fluid on a curved surface is proposed and used to determine the saddle-splay modulus of a particle-laden fluid interface. The resulting contribution to saddle-splay modulus, which is caused by thermal motion of the adsorbed particles, is comparable in magnitude with the saddle-splay modulus of a simple fluid interface.

Waves at surfactant-laden liquid-liquid crystal interface

A theoretical study is presented of surface waves at a monomolecular surfactant film between an isotropic liquid and a nematic liquid crystal for the case when the surfactant film is in the isotropic two-dimensional fluid phase and induces homeotropic (normal to the interface) orientation of the nematic director. The dispersion relation for the surface waves is obtained, and different surface modes are analyzed with account being taken of the anchoring induced by the surfactant layer, the curvature energy of the interface, and the anisotropy of the viscoelastic coefficients. The dispersion laws for capillary and dilatational surface modes retain structure similar to that in isotropic systems, but involve anisotropic viscosity coefficients. Additional modes are related to relaxation of the nematic director field due to anchoring at the interface. The results can be used to determine different properties of nematic-surfactant-isotropic interfaces from experimental data on surface light scattering.
