Statistical mechanics of inhomogeneous complex fluids and particle transport models KU Leuven
Statistical mechanics is applied to three systems; Colloid-polymer mixture near a hard wall, irreversible aggregation models, and transport phenomena in engines.
Density Functional theory is used to describe a demixed colloid-polymer mixture at three-phase coexistence. The excess surface free energy for imposed wetting layers are computed and the line tension and the shape of the transition zone are computed via an interface ...
