Liquid drops on soft solids generate strong deformations below the contact line, resulting from a balance of capillary and elastic forces. The movement of these drops may cause strong, potentially singular dissipation in the soft solid.…
Drop evaporation is a simple phenomena but still unclear concerning the mechanisms of evaporation. A common agreement of the scientific community based on experimental and numerical work evidences that most of the evaporation occurs at the…
We study the motion of a two-dimensional droplet on an inclined surface, under the action of gravity, using a diffuse interface model which allows for arbitrary equilibrium contact angles. The kinematics of motion is analysed by decomposing…
A uniform solidification front undergoes non-trivial deformations when encountering an insoluble dispersed particle in a melt. For solid particles, the overall deformation characteristics are primarily dictated by heat transfer between the…
Accurate prediction of spray atomization process using an Euler-Lagrange (EL) approach is challenging because of high volume fraction of the liquid phase in dense regimes. This would in reality displace a remarkable portion of the gaseous…
Nonlinear dynamics of the free surface of an ideal incompressible non-conducting fluid with high dielectric constant subjected by strong horizontal electric field is simulated on the base of the method of conformal transformations. It is…
The transient thermocapillary migration of drops with nontrivial deformation is studied. The finite difference method is employed to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the energy equation; the front-tracking…
The star-shaped oscillation of water drops has been observed in various physical situations with different sources of vertical excitation. Previous studies apply a quasi-2D model to analyze the resonance frequency and only consider the…
Escaping of the liquid molecules from their liquid bulk into the vapour phase at the vapour-liquid interface is controlled by the vapour diffusion process, which nevertheless hardly senses the macroscopic shape of this interface. Here,…
In this short paper we present a fluid dynamics video of the deformation of droplets when tilted on a motorized stage. This is a submission to the 2013 Gallery of Fluid Motion which is part of the 66th annual meeting of APS-DFD. The video…
Evolution of a suspension drop entrained by Poiseuille flow is studied numerically at a low Reynolds number. A suspension drop is modelled by a cloud of many non-touching particles, initially randomly distributed inside a spherical volume…
We investigate the internal flow pattern of an evaporating droplet using tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV) when the contact line non-uniformly recedes. We observe a three-dimensional azimuthal vortex pair while the contact line…
We study theoretically the hydrodynamics of a fluid drop containing oriented filaments endowed with active contractile or extensile stresses and placed on a solid surface. The active stresses alter qualitatively the wetting properties of…
Using a phase field crystal model we study the structure and dynamics of a drop of colloidal suspension during evaporation of the solvent. We model an experimental system where contact line pinning of the drop on the substrate is…
We report the dynamics of a droplet levitated in a single-axis acoustic levitator. The deformation and atomization behavior of the droplet in the acoustic field exhibits a myriad of complex phenomena, in sequences of steps. These include…
We numerically study the dynamics of quasi-two dimensional cholesteric liquid crystal droplets in the presence of a time-dependent electric field, rotating at constant angular velocity. A surfactant sitting at droplet interface is also…
Motivated by recent experiments, we study normal-phase rotating He-3 droplets within Density Functional Theory in a semi-classical approach. The sequence of rotating droplet shapes as a function of angular momentum are found to agree with…
A sessile liquid drop can deform the substrate on which it rests if the solid is sufficiently "soft". In this paper we compute the detailed spatial structure of the capillary forces exerted by the drop on the solid substrate using a model…
We numerically study the dynamics of a three-dimensional contractile fluid droplet in the bulk and under confinement. We show that varying activity leads to a variety of shapes and motile regimes whose motion is driven by an interplay…
Active particles under soft confinement such as droplets or vesicles present intriguing phenomena, as collective motion emerges alongside the deformation of the environment. A model is employed to systematically investigate droplet…
