AbstractThe investigation of liquid bridge force acting between wet particles has great significance in many fields. In this article, the exact solution of capillary force between two unequal-sized spherical particles is investigated. Firstly, The Young-Laplace equation with moving boundary is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations with two fix point boundary using variable substitution technique, in which the gravity effects have been neglected. The geometry of the liquid bridge between two particles is solved by shooting method. After that, the gorge method is applied to calculate the capillary-bridge force that is consists of contributions from the capillary suction and surface tension. Finally, the effect of various parameters including distance between two spheres, radii of spheres, and contact angles on the capillary force are investigated. It is shown that the presented approach is an efficient and accurate algorithm for capillary force between two particles in complex situations.

Abstract The scalar boundary value problem (BVP) for a nonlinear second order differential equation on the semiaxis is considered. Under some natural assumptions it is shown that on an arbitrary finite grid there exists a unique three-point exact difference scheme (EDS), i.e., a difference scheme whose solution coincides with the projection of the exact solution of the given differential equation onto the underlying grid. A constructive method is proposed to derive from the EDS a so-called truncated difference scheme (n-TDS) of rank n, where n is a freely selectable natural number. The n-TDS is the basis for a new adaptive algorithm which has all the advantages known from the modern IVP-solvers. Numerical examples are given which illustrate the theorems presented in the paper and demonstrate the reliability of the new algorithm.
