Wax deposition in crude oils: a new approach

Similarity:

The complex phenomenon of solid wax deposition in wax saturated crude oils subject to thermal gradients has been treated in a number of papers under very specific assumptions (e.g. thermodynamical equilibrium between dissolved wax and the wax suspended in the oil as a crystallized phase). Here we want to consider a more general framework in which thermodynamical equilibrium may not exist, the whole system may form a gel-like structure in which the segregated solid wax has no diffusivity,...

Wetting on rough surfaces and contact angle hysteresis: numerical experiments based on a phase field model

Alessandro Turco, François Alouges, Antonio DeSimone (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We present a phase field approach to wetting problems, related to the minimization of capillary energy. We discuss in detail both the -convergence results on which our numerical algorithm are based, and numerical implementation. Two possible choices of boundary conditions, needed to recover Young's law for the contact angle, are presented. We also consider an extension of the classical theory of capillarity, in which the introduction of a dissipation mechanism can explain and predict...

Shakedown theorems in poroplastic dynamics

Giuseppe Cocchetti, Giulio Maier (2002)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

The constitutive model assumed in this Note is poroplastic two-phase (solid-fluid) with full saturation and stable in Drucker’s sense. A solid or structure of this material is considered, subjected to dynamic external actions, in particular periodic or intermittent, in a small deformation regime. A sufficient condition and a necessary one are established, by a «static» approach, for shakedown (or adaptation), namely for boundedness in time of the cumulative dissipated energy. ...
