Computational Atomistic Fluid-dynamics & Engineering

Our approach is a physical one, addressing problems in engineering and biology. In particular, we use molecular dynamics and multiscale simulations which address the various time and length scales typical of wetting, cavitation, and biophysical phenomena.

Pore morphology determines spontaneous liquid extrusion from nanopores

In this contribution we explore by means of experiments, theory, and molecular dynamics the effect of pore morphology on the spontaneous extrusion of nonwetting liquids from nanopores. Understanding and controlling this phenomenon is central for manipulating nanoconfined liquids, e.g., in nanofluidic applications, drug delivery, and oil extraction.
