Precipitation patterns emerging in a 2D moving front are investigated on the example of NaOH diffusing into a gel containing AlCl_3. The time evolution of the precipitate Al(OH)_3 can be observed since the precipitate redissolves in the…

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…

One usual way to strengthen a metal is to add alloying elements and to control the size and the density of the precipitates obtained. However, precipitation in multicomponent alloys can take complex pathways depending on the relative…
Electrical resistivity evolution during precipitation in Al-Sc alloys is modeled using cluster dynamics. This mesoscopic modeling has already been shown to correctly predict the time evolution of the precipitate size distribution. In this…

We propose coupled evolution equations for the thickness of a liquid film and the density of an adsorbate layer on a partially wetting solid substrate. Therein, running droplets are studied assuming a chemical reaction underneath the…
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…
