Séminaire PMMH - John Kolinski (EPFL)
Wetting and contact line propagation on solid surfaces
John M. Kolinski, EMSI, EPFL, Lausanne Switzerland
The propagation of a contact line at the interface between liquid and a dry solid is of great fundamental and practical importance. We experimentally probe the dynamics of wetting that occur when an impacting drop first contacts a dry surface. We show that the liquid-solid contact line propagates outward from nanoscale liquid bridges. As the liquid bridge expands, the liquid-air interface deforms and lifts away from the surface immediately ahead of the liquid-solid contact line. The wetting front advances at a velocity well below the liquid capillary velocity ; we explain this anomalously low velocity using a simple model for the interaction between the liquid and the air motivated by the observed liquid-air interface kinematics. As we increase the liquid viscosity, the contact line velocity decreases. A simple boundary layer argument can explain the scaling of contact line velocity as v^-1/3. These results suggest interesting avenues for further study of dynamic wetting on a variety of substrates.

Séminaire PMMH - Francesca Borghi Università degli Studi di Milano
Vendredi 20 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…) -

Séminaire PMMH - Salvatore Federico (University of Calgary, Canada)
Vendredi 4 juillet de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
Continuum Mechanics of Hydrated Fibre-Reinforced Soft Tissues
Biological tissues can be represented as bi-phasic continua, with a porous solid phase saturated by an interstitial fluid and reinforced by collagen fibers. This lecture will give an overview of the modelling techniques for fibre-reinforced porous composite materials with statistical orientation of the fibers. Both (…) -

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
