\r\nDescription
\r\n
\r\nComplex fluids are ubiquitous in biology, geophysics, and industry [1]. These materials are challenging to characterize and predict [1–4], particularly when they incorporate multiple interfaces, as in colloidal suspensions [4], foams [5–7], or nanoporous membranes [8–10]. Many of these interfaces are micro- or nano-scale and evolve over short times, which can obscure them to observation and pose challenges to experimentalists [2–5, 11, 12]. This opens exciting opportunities for a strong partnership between the development of novel theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques.
\r\nProbing interfaces presents unique challenges compared to probing complex fluids in the bulk. The interfacial structure and constitutive behavior then depend on the composition of two fluids as well as the interfacial configuration [13, 14]. Translating this increased complexity to a computational framework involves developing reliable models describing molecular interactions near fluid-fluid or fluid-solid interfaces [15–17], as well as models for continuum stresses [18]. Molecular modeling is necessary to reveal the physics of chemically-complex structures [17], but is computationally expensive, and it can be challenging to identify the relevant physics to include [19]. Yet the interface also provides unique opportunities for control: in liquid crystals, for example, interfacial stresses can be transmitted through the bulk, leading to novel pattern formation [20] and optical materials exploiting interfacial control [21]. Finally, interfaces are prone to instabilities, which can make flows unpredictable, but opens opportunities to exploit unstable growth for spontaneous patterning.
\r\nTo underscore the present challenges, even for a “simple” Newtonian fluid, the presence of an interface may hinder understanding of flow mechanics. For example, mechanisms for contact during drop impact are still debated [22]: molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can clarify which effects dominate among interfacial instabilities, electrostatic charge, gas-kinetic effects, and other driving forces [22–26], in addition to liquid/surface chemistry [27, 28]. Diffusive processes at interfaces [29] and nanoscale membrane flows, where osmotic and phoretic effects are significant [11, 30], also require further development in MD or coarse-grained models.
