Evaporating a droplet containing dispersed colloids leaves behind a dried deposit whose shape is determined by capillary flows and the resulting particle transport. The classical coffee-ring effect occurs when an outward radial flow drives…
When a volatile droplet is deposited on a floating swellable sheet, it becomes asymmetric, lobed and mobile. We describe and quantify this phenomena that involves nonequilibrium swelling, evaporation and motion, working together to realize…
Saliva is primarily composed of water, but additionally includes a variety of organic and inorganic substances such as salt, proteins, peptides, mucins, virions, etc. The presence of such solutes affects the evaporation time of respiratory…

A small drop that splashes into a deep liquid sometimes reappears as a small rising jet, for example when a water drop splashes into a pool or when coffee drips into a cup. Here we describe that the growing and rising jet continuously…

Dilute granular flows are routinely described by collisional kinetic theory, but dense flows require a fundamentally different approach, due to long-lasting, many-body contacts. In the case of silo drainage, many continuum models have been…
