Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Reactive Wetting of Liquid Aluminium on Solid Nickel Substrate KU Leuven
In this dissertation, Molecular Dynamics simulations were used to thoroughly analyze the wetting behavior of liquid Aluminum (Al) droplet on solid Nickel (Ni) substrate with and without the presence of Oxygen from the beginning of the process until it cooled down. Oxygen could have a huge impact on wetting behavior. For instance, at relatively high Oxygen content, solid O-rich clusters are formed at the surface of Aluminum liquid. Results ...
