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 t...
