Determination of water droplet size distribution in butter: pulsed field gradient NMR in comparison with confocal scanning laser microscopy Ghent University
Investigation on the Drying Dynamics of Millimetric Water Droplets: Source of Watermarks on Silicon Wafers KU Leuven
Evaporation of unpinned sessile droplets with small contact angles (below 90°) is studied here extensively. We focused our work on the constant contact-angle mode in which the contact area of the droplet on the substrate decreases. A thorough understanding of droplet evaporation is of vital importance for examining the drying rate, the flow patterns observed inside drying drops, and the residual deposits. The concentration of each potential ...
Influence of the particle injection rate, droplet size distribution and volume flux angular distribution on the results and computational time of water spray CFD simulations KU Leuven Ghent University
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd The paper presents a detailed sensitivity analysis on the volume flux probability density function (PDF) to represent water spray patterns with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The effects of the turbulent viscosity model and the cell size are also investigated. The test case considered herein is a 30° full cone water mist spray emerging from a nozzle that operates at a pressure of 750 kPa and delivers a water flow rate of ...
A fast Water Droplet Sound Simulation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Due to recent advances in the field of virtual reality, the demand for immersive sound design has increased dramatically. While pre-recorded samples are a popular tool in this context, it has limited flexibility and user interactivity. We propose a real-time method that can synthesize fully immersive sounds of droplets falling in water. The physics of air bubbles produced in the liquid are considered in detail, and the sound samples are ...
Assessment of heating and evaporation modelling based on single suspended water droplet experiments Ghent University KU Leuven
Influence of fat crystallization in W/O emulsions on the water droplet size determination by NMR diffusometry Ghent University
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome presenting with early ichthyosis, associated dermal and epidermal intracellular lipid droplets, hypoglycemia, and later distinctive clinical SDS phenotype Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a recessive ribosomopathy, characterized by bone marrow failure and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (ePI) often associated with neurodevelopmental and skeletal abnormalities. The aim of this report is to describe a SDS patient with early ichthyosis associated with dermal and epidermal intracellular lipid droplets (iLDs), hypoglycemia and later a distinctive clinical SDS phenotype. At 3 months of age, she ...
Predicting the dynamic impact behaviour of spray droplets on flat plant surfaces Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food KU Leuven
The dynamic impact behaviour of water droplets on plant surfaces was investigated based on a multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The study was conducted using the Volume Of Fluid (VOF) approach. The static contact angle of water droplets on leaf surfaces of different plants (apple, pear, leek and cabbage) was measured and found to vary between 54.9 and 138.2°. Impact experiments were conducted by monitoring the flow and impact ...
