A finite element model was developed to compute the fluid flow inside a sessile evaporating droplet on hydrophilic substrate in ambient conditions. The evaporation is assumed as quasi-steady and the flow is considered as axisymmetric with a…
A liquid drop impacting a dry solid surface with sufficient kinetic energy will splash, breaking apart into numerous secondary droplets. This phenomenon shows many similarities to forced wetting, including the entrainment of air at the…

The behavior of weakly deformed drops on non wetting surfaces is usually described using linear models. We show that these simple pictures cannot account for measurements of the dynamics of droplets that oscillate or bounce on…
We report a new type of drop instability, where the density difference between the drop and the solvent is negative. We show that the drop falls inside the solvent down to a minimum height, then fragmentation takes place and secondary…
Superhydrophobicity relies on the stability of drops's interfaces pinned on sharp edges to sustain non-wetting (Cassie-Baxter) equilibrium states. Gibbs already pointed out that equilibrium is possible as long as the pinning angle at the…
Colliding drops are widely encountered in everyday technologies and natural processes, from combustion engines and commodity sprays to raindrops and cloud formation. The outcome of a collision depends on many factors, including the impact…

In the present study, the axisymmetric natural oscillations of a liquid drop supported by a flat surface is investigated by direct numerical simulation. The liquid-gas interface is captured using a geometric volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. A…
