Dissolution of CO2 into the brine may create gravitational instabilities that lead to the onset of convection, which greatly enhances the storage efficiency and reduces the possibilities of leakage. Convection appears in the form of downward traveling fingers of relatively dense, CO2-dissolved fluid. Many natural aquifer formations display considerable permeability anisotropy, where the horizontal permeability kh may be several times greater than the vertical permeability kz. It has been previously found that increasing kh for a fixed kz reduces the critical time tc at which onset occurs and the critical wavelength λc with which the fingers initially form. We extend earlier work by showing how and why this occurs. Our results reveal new insights about λc. We have studied the behavior for times greater than tc using high-resolution numerical simulations. We show that the enhanced dissolution from convection can become significant much earlier in anisotropic media. Furthermore, the effects of anisotropy may be sustained for a long period of time. Our results suggest that permeability anisotropy can allow a wider range of aquifer formations to be considered for effective sequestration.

The long diffusion times can be accelerated by orders of magnitude from mass transfer that origins from convection.Convection occurs at a critical time via a phase transition from the horizontally homogeneous diffusion state. To start the instability, perturbations that break the horizontal translation symmetry are necessary. We start with the basic equations and the boundary conditions, examine the linearized equations around the diffusive time and z-dependent base state and compare different definitions of the critical time found in the literature. Taking a simple model we show the role of fluctuations for delayed instabilities if the control parameter is slowly swept through the bifurcation point. Apart from the critical time we use a “visible” time where convection is manifested in the vertical CO2 transport. We specify the perturbations with respect to their strength and length scale, and compute the critical times for various cases by numerical integration of the basic equations in two spatial dimensions. Fluctuating concentration at the upper boundary, fluctuating porosity as well fluctuating permeability are studied in detail. For the permeability fluctuation, the compressibility of the fluid becomes important and the velocity field cannot be derived from a stream function. Our work also includes non-isothermal conditions with a prescribed vertical geothermal gradient and space dependent thermal conductivity. Temperature fields for different standard configurations are computed numerically and serve as starting condition for density-driven convection. Based on our work, we conclude that the visible time is much larger than the critical time. The visible time is a strong function of strength and length scale of the perturbations.

The first set of experiments demonstrates LIPSS formation by irradiation with a femtosecond white light continuum. The ripples are, as usual, perpendicular to the light polarization with a fluence-dependent wavelength between 500 and 700 nm. At higher dose (fluence × number of shots), the LIPSS turn to much coarser structures. The second set of experiments displays the dose dependence of pattern evolution at about threshold fluence. In contrast to the general case of multi-pulse LIPSS, where a strong dependence of the structures on the laser polarization is observed, single-shot exposition of silicon at about the ablation threshold results in a concentric pattern of very regular sub-wavelength ripples following the oval shape of the irradiated spot, without any reference to the laser polarization. When increasing the number of pulses, the usual, typical ripples develop and then coalesce into broader perpendicular structures, interlaced with remnants of the first, finer ripples.

The substrate is subjected to oscillatory accelerations in the normal direction and/or in the horizontal direction. A linear Floquet analysis shows that the planar film surface loses stability if amplitudes and frequencies of the harmonic oscillations meet certain criteria. Based on the long wave lubrication approximation, we present an integral boundary layer model where the z component is integrated out and the spatial dimension is reduced by one. The linear stability analysis of this model shows good agreement with the exact problem and with the linearized long wave equations. Pattern formation in the nonlinear regime is computed numerically from the long wave model in two and three spatial dimensions. Normal oscillations show the traditional Faraday patterns such as squares and hexagons. Lateral oscillations cause a pattern formation scenario similar to spinodal dewetting, namely coarsening and no rupture. For certain amplitude and frequency ranges, combined lateral and normal oscillations can give rise to one or more traveling drops. Finally, we discuss the control of a drop's motion in the horizontal plane.

The description is based on the longwave approximation including inertia effects, which are important due to the large velocities imparted by external vibrations. The linearized system is examined using the Floquet analysis. Pattern formation in the nonlinear regime is computed numerically from the longwave equations for the thickness and the flow rate of the fluid in two and in three spatial dimensions.

We show that if the fluid is initially in equilibrium with its own vapor in the gas phase, regular surface deformation patterns in the form of long-wave hexagons or stripes having a well defined lateral length scale are observed, depending on the instability mechanism. This is different to the case without evaporation where rupture or coarsening to larger and larger spatially disordered patterns is seen in the long time limit. We propose to use such a system to create a regular structuring of the film’s surface. Heat production by latent heat and the influence of a temperature dependent surface tension (Marangoni effect) are included as well. Special emphasis is laid on the so-called anomalous Marangoni effect. In this case a parameter region where stripes should occur already at threshold is found by means of a systematic weakly non-linear analysis.

Fluids 22, 104102 (2010)]. One equation describes the location of the free surface and the second one the evolution of the mean concentration. This lubrication model was investigated previously in linearized form. The study is now extended to the fully nonlinear case of thin liquid films of a binary mixture (in one and two horizontal spatial dimensions) with and without heat transport. For an initially flat and motionless film heated from below, we analyze the component separation induced by the Soret effect. Nonlinear simulations show that the Soret effect can cause a multitude of interesting behaviors, such as oscillatory patterns and solitonlike structures (localized traveling drops or holes). A stronger component separation induced by stronger Soret effects favors faster-moving localized structures. For isothermal systems, we study the fusion and the mixing of two thin liquid films of different but perfectly miscible liquids. Marangoni-driven forces can cause delayed coalescence, ripple formation, and fingering patterns at the borderline between the two liquid layers. A systematic analysis for ripple pattern formation and finger instabilities at different diffusion constants shows that these phenomena appear more pronounced for lower diffusion in the system.

T2 - Langmuir N2 - We discuss a mechanism for controlled motion of drops with applications for microfluidics and microgravity. The mechanism is the following: a solid plate supporting a liquid droplet is simultaneously subject to lateral and vertical harmonic oscillations. In this way the symmetry of the back-and-forth droplet movement along the substrate under inertial effects is broken and thus will induce a net driven motion of the drop. We study the dependency of the traveled distance on the oscillation parameters (forcing amplitude, frequency, and phase shift between the two perpendicular oscillations) via phase field simulations. The internal flow structure inside the droplet is also investigated. We make predictions on resonance frequencies for drops on a substrate with a varying wettability.

The first liquid layer rests on a vibrating solid plate and is overlaid by a second layer of immiscible fluid with deformable upper surface. Surface waves, excited as the result of the Faraday instability, can be characterized by a time-dependent relative amplitude of the displacements of the liquid-liquid and the liquid-gas interfaces. The in-phase displacements are associated with a zigzag (barotropic) mode and the antiphase displacement corresponds to the varicose thinning mode. We numerically determine the stability threshold in the vibrated two-layer film and compute the dispersion relation together with the decay rates of the surface waves in the absence of vibration. The in-phase and the antiphase displacements are strongly coupled in the vibrated system. The interplay between the Faraday and the Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in the system with heavier fluid on top of a lighter fluid is analyzed.

The lower layer rests on an oscillating solid substrate, the upper layer is separated by a deformable interface from the lower layer and bounded at the top with a second, free interface to the ambient passive air. The model is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations in long-wave approximation, including inertial terms. Applying a Floquet analysis, linear stability charts and dispersion relations are computed and compared with results from the full linearized Navier-Stokes equations and the long-wave approximation. Nonlinear Faraday patterns simultaneously occurring at the interface and at the film surface are studied by numerically solving the integrated boundary layer model in two and three spatial dimensions. For gravitationally stable two-layer films with a lighter fluid on top of the heavier fluid, we find squares, hexagons, quasiperiodic patterns with eightfold symmetry as well as localized states in the form of large scale depletion regions or finite depth holes, occurring at the interface and surface. For a Rayleigh-Taylor unstable combination (heavier fluid above the light one) we show that external vibration increases the lifetime of the film by delaying or completely suppressing the film rupture.

The substrate is subjected to time-periodic external vibrations in normal and in tangential direction with respect to the plane surface. The governing partial differential equation system of our model is obtained from the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations considering the limit of a thin fluid geometry and using the long wave lubrication approximation. It includes inertia and viscous friction. Numerical simulations evince the existence of persistent spatially complex surface patterns (periodic and quasiperiodic) for certain superpositions of two vertical excitations and initial conditions. Additional harmonic lateral excitations cause deformations but retain the basic structure of the patterns. Horizontal ratchet-shaped forces lead to a controllable lateral movement of the fluid. A Floquet analysis is used to determine the stability of the linearized system.

Rev. E 88, 023025 (2013)]. In the case of tangential vibration, the linear stability analysis of the time-periodic base state with a flat interface shows the existence of the domain of wavenumbers where the film is unstable. In the case of normal vibration, the linear stability analysis of the quiescent base state reveals that the instability threshold of the system is depicted by a combination of distinct thresholds separate for the Rayleigh-Taylor and Faraday instabilities. The nonlinear dynamics of the film interface in the case of the static substrate results in film rupture. However, in the presence of the substrate vibration in the lateral direction, the film interface saturates in certain domains in the parameter space via the mechanism of advection induced by forcing, so that the continuity of the film interface is preserved even in the domains of linear instability while undergoing the time-periodic harmonic evolution. On the other hand, sufficiently strong forcing introduces a new inertial mode of rupture. In the case of the normal vibration, the film evolution may exhibit time-periodic, harmonic or subharmonic saturated waves apart of rupture. The enhancement of the frequency or amplitude of the substrate forcing promotes the destabilization of the system and a tendency to film rupture at the nonlinear stage of its evolution. A possibility of saturation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability by either normal or unidirectional tangential forcing in three dimensions is also demonstrated.

Sterman-Cohen, M. Bestehorn, and A. Oron, Phys. Fluids 29, 052105 (2017); Erratum, Phys. Fluids 29, 109901 (2017)]. In the present work, we investigate the feasibility of creating a directional flow of the fluid in a film in the Rayleigh-Taylor configuration and controlling its flow rate by applying a two-frequency tangential forcing to the substrate. It is shown that in this situation, a ratchet flow develops, and the dependence of its flow rate on the vibration frequency, amplitude, its periodicity, and asymmetry level is investigated for water and silicone-oil films. A cause for the emergence of symmetry-breaking and an ensuing flow in a preferred direction is discussed. Some aspects of a ratchet flow in a liquid film placed on top of the substrate are discussed as well. A comparison with the case of a neglected fluid inertia is made, and the differences are explained.

Specifically focusing on the large area treatment, effect of the irradiation dose (fluence × pulse number) on the uniformity of the morphology, orientation of the ripples respect to the laser polarization and their periodicity is studied systematically. Controlling the pulse number via varying the scanning speed, the difference between irradiating one particular dose in single scan with its irradiation in separate steps is inspected. Results clearly point out that not only the irradiation dose but also the irradiation way and the time delay between the pulse trains might have a significant effect on the final outcomes. It is discussed in detail that the experimental observations are supporting the model of self-organized structure formation due to irradiation induced instability.

All these variables depend in general on space andtime. Pattern formation refers to the situation where one or more of these variables are organized within a certain spatial and/or temporalorder. This order has macroscopic length and time scales, that is, characteristic lengths and times are much larger than those of the atoms or moleculeswhich constitute the fluid. Therefore a continuous description is appropriate. Macroscopic fluid patterns may be encountered in nature as well as in technological applications for a large variety of different systems. Farfrom being complete, we mention some examples: Water waves caused by wind or by sea quakes and land slides (Tsunamis). Localized excitations of the surface of a fluid (solitons), such as that seen on shallow water channels. Shear instabilities in clouds or in multi-layer systems such as the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability or...

In agreement with experiments, a circular lens-shaped drop is unstable above a critical vibration amplitude, spontaneously elongating in the horizontal direction. Smaller drops elongate into localized states that oscillate with half of the vibration frequency. Larger drops evolve by transforming into a snake-like structure with gradually increasing length. The worm state is long-lasting with a potential to fragment into smaller drops.

For the second geometry, the beam actuates the liquid from both sides. For both pumps, the liquid film thickness is small compared to the lateral characteristic length of the system. A lubrication theory is developed. The Euler-Bernoulli equation for transverse deformations of an elastic beam is coupled to the fundamental hydrodynamic equations: the Navier-Stokes equation and a continuity equation in the long-wave approximation. In this way, one connects the transverse displacement of the beam with the hydrodynamic quantities (pressure, velocity fields, and flow rates). Appropriate boundary conditions incorporate the function of the valves. The derivation of the theoretical model is followed by numerical simulations. We estimate flow rates (in two and three spatial dimensions) for different system parameters and we compute the efficiency of a well-designed liquid pump.
