A CFD study on horizontal oil-water flow with high viscosity ratio (2020)
Journal Article
Shi, J., Gourma, M., & Yeung, H. (2021). A CFD study on horizontal oil-water flow with high viscosity ratio. Chemical Engineering Science, 229, Article 116097. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2020.116097

A CFD study on horizontal oil-water flow with high viscosity ratio (O(103)) was conducted with the VOF multiphase model in conjunction with the SST k–ω turbulence scheme. Suitable settings of the CFD models and numerical solution were highlighted. Pa... Read More about A CFD study on horizontal oil-water flow with high viscosity ratio.

Drying of ethanol/water droplets containing silica nanoparticles (2019)
Journal Article
Shi, J., Yang, L., & Bain, C. D. (2019). Drying of ethanol/water droplets containing silica nanoparticles. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 11(15), 14275-14285. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.8b21731

The evaporation of colloidal drop on a substrate with a pinned contact line usually results in a ring stain (the so-called coffee-ring effect). In this paper, we present an investigation of the evaporation of sessile picoliter droplets of binary solv... Read More about Drying of ethanol/water droplets containing silica nanoparticles.
