Dynamic Wetting by Nanofluids

This PhD thesis presents the latest research findings on nanofluid wetting kinetics, which has wide applications in nano/microscale processes and devices. It analyzes complex dynamic wetting by nanofluids using both experiments and multi-scale simulation methods, and presents multiscale (from nano to macroscale) mechanisms and tunable methods to elucidate and control nanofluid dynamic wetting. The book is of interest to university researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students in surface science, materials science and thermal engineering.

Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by Tsinghua University, China The first book available on nanofluid dynamic wetting phenomena Reviews key recent research in nanofluid fabrications, wetting kinetics, wetting technology and multiscale computational simulations Includes handy, quick-reference equations and methods to analyze complex dynamic wetting Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
