Influence of magnitude and direction of static magnetic field applied on a drying drop of a laboratory synthesized water base ferrofluid placed on a plane glass plate is investigated. Like all other multi-component fluid this drop also…
The so-called coffee stain effect has been intensively studied over the past decades, but most of the studies are focused on sessile droplets. In this paper, we analyse the origin of the difference between the deposition of suspended…
When a drop dries, it often leaves a ring-shaped stain through a ubiquitous phenomenon known as the coffee-ring effect. This also occurs when the liquid contains suspended microbes; evaporation leaves cells at higher concentrations in the…
Dried droplets of polymer solutions of different molecular weights and concentrations leave various types of 'coffee-ring' patterns. These patterns are consequence of contact line motion. We have observed for very low molecular weight the…
Deposits from evaporating drops have shown to take a variety of shapes, depending on the physicochemical properties of both solute and solvent. Classically, the evaporation of drops of colloidal suspensions leads to the so-called coffee…
Droplet evaporation has been intensively investigated in past decades owing to its emerging applications in diverse fields of science and technology. Yet the role transport mechanisms has been the subject of a heated debate, especially the…
In this study, we experimentally study the dried pattern droplets of coffee with and without sugar. We statistically analyze the rough surface formed after the stain becomes dried. The amount of sugar is controlled by the mass $m$. Along…
Evaporating suspensions of colloidal particles lead to the formation of a variety of patterns, ranging from a left-over ring of a dried coffee drop to uniformly distributed solid pigments left behind wet paint. To characterize the…
Viscous hydrodynamic flow in a small, slowly evaporating, sessile hemispherical droplet with a pinned contact line is considered. Analytical solutions are obtained for the Deegan outward flow, which is responsible for the coffee ring…
We explore the influence of particle shape on the behavior of evaporating drops. A first set of experiments discovered that particle shape modifies particle deposition after drying. For sessile drops, spheres are deposited in a ring-like…
Evaporating droplets are known to show complex motion that has conventionally been explained by the Marangoni effect (flow induced by the gradient of surface tension). Here, we show that the droplet motion can be induced even in the absence…
Liquid droplets usually wet smooth and homogeneous substrates isotropically. Recent research works have revealed that droplets sit, slide and spread anisotropically on uniaxially stretched soft substrates, showing an enhanced wettability…
Watercolor or aquarelle is one of the oldest painting methods in which pigments suspended in an aqueous liquid are deposited over a substrate, typically an absorbing material such as paper. The physical processes which lead to pattern…
We present a framework for calculating the surface density profile of a stain deposited by a drop with a receding contact line. Unlike a pinned drop, a receding drop pushes fluid towards its interior, continuously deposits mass across its…
When a droplet containing a non-volatile component is dried on a substrate, it leaves a ringlike deposit on the substrate. We propose a theory which predicts the deposit distribution based on a model of fluid flow and contact line motion of…
This review covers experimental results of evaporative lithography and analyzes existing mathematical models of this method. Evaporating droplets and films are used in different fields, such as cooling of heated surfaces of electronic…
The evaporation of liquid droplets often results in a ring-like deposition pattern of particles, presenting challenges for applications requiring highly uniform patterns. Despite extensive efforts to suppress the coffee ring effect,…
We consider the role of gravity in solute transport when a thin droplet evaporates. Under the physically-relevant assumptions that the contact line is pinned and the solutal P\'{e}clet number, $\mbox{Pe}$ is large, we identify two…
Temperature distributions and the corresponding vortex structures in an evaporating sessile droplet are obtained by performing detailed numerical calculations. A Marangoni convection induced by thermal conduction processes in the drop and…
We investigate the dripping of liquids around solid surfaces in the regime of inertial flows, a situation commonly encountered with the so-called "teapot effect". We demonstrate that surface wettability is an unexpected key factor in…
