Discrete Element Method (DEM) computer simulation is used to examine the influence of contact force between two-dimensional aggregates of polystyrene microsphere formed on the air-liquid interface. Colloidal aggregates have been treated as the granular material or discontinuum materials. The interaction force models are related to experiment which had done by digital video microscopy. The interaction mechanisms of the contact forces between particles in the colloidal system can be considered as a combination of spring and dashpot force and van der Waals force. According to the DEM, the interaction forces are evaluated to introduce relations between particles and the result comparison between the computer simulation and the experimental work. This study indicates that the behavior of the colloidal aggregates depends on the long-ranged (spring and dashpot) and the short-ranged interaction force (van der Waals). Besides, the behaviors shown in both computer simulation and the experiment are in good agreement. Thus, this computer simulation method can mimic the behavior of colloidal aggregates forming as a monolayer at the air-liquid interface.

AbstractAn experimental high-resolution image of a solid–liquid interface of solid Si and liquid Al–Si alloy has been compared with theoretical images obtained by computer simulation. It has been concluded that the solid–liquid interface has a transition layer, the structure of which is compatible with the 1 × 1 Si-{111} surface.
