Liquid flow in sessile evaporating droplets of ultrapure water typically results from two main contributions: a capillary flow pushing the liquid towards the contact line from the bulk and a thermal Marangoni flow pulling the drop free…

We discuss the motion of colloidal particles relative to a two component fluid consisting of solvent and solute. Particle motion can result from (i) net body forces on the particle due to external fields such as gravity; (ii) slip…

The occurrence of concentration and temperature gradients in saline microdroplets evaporating directly in air makes them unsuitable for nucleation studies where homogeneous composition is required. This can be addressed by immersing the…
The idea of contact angle was generalized by using the principle of minimum total energy. The problems of the shape of the two-dimensional sessile drop and the drop on an inclined surface are considered. The differential equations…
Superhydrophobic surfaces can exhibit icephobicity in many ways due to their large contact angles and small rolling angles. The melting process of frozen droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces is still unclear, hindering the understanding of…
