Tuning the wettability of wire mesh column: pore-scale flow analysis

The pore-scale behaviour of liquid flow over wire mesh stainless-steel packing of variable contact angle is relevant for mass and heat exchanges in multiphase chemical systems. This behaviour was investigated by imaging experiments and 3D volume-of-fluid modelling. The surface of the wire mesh ring...
