Microscopic analysis of fluid-surface interaction
Need
Analysis of interaction phenomena between fluids and surfaces operating on increasingly smaller scales (microscale). Often, the difference between success and failure in an industrial process lies in a microscopic defect: this aspect makes it is necessary to analyse and measure microscopic phenomena right from the initial research and design activities.
Solution
The solution, which is based on detailed processing of X-ray microtomography (microCT) results, can be imagined as a microscopic "eye" that examines interaction phenomena between fluids and porous material surfaces. Through specialist instruments, 3D digitised reconstructions of objects can be generated, which can then be analysed at very high resolution (up to 1 micron).
