When two drops of radius $R$ touch, surface tension drives an initially singular motion which joins them into a bigger drop with smaller surface area. This motion is always viscously dominated at early times. We focus on the early-time…
When a free-falling liquid droplet is hit by a laser it experiences a strong ablation driven pressure pulse. Here we study the resulting droplet deformation in the regime where the ablation pressure duration is short, i.e. comparable to the…
We study the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability using three-dimensional MHD simulations. We consider the idealized case of two inviscid, perfectly conducting fluids of constant density separated by a contact…
We report on the controlled transport of drops of magnetic liquid, which are swimming on top of a non-magnetic liquid layer. A magnetic field which is rotating in a vertical plane creates a torque on the drop. Due to surface stresses within…
In the present work we report on the behavior of ferrofluid microdrops in an immiscible nonmagnetic carrier fluid and vice versa subjected to the action of magnetic fields. Our experiments evidence previously unexplored instability and flow…
Laminar electrically conducting Couette flows with the hydrodynamically stable quasi-Keplerian rotation profile and non-uniform conductivity are probed for dynamo instability. In spherical geometry the equations for the poloidal and the…
When a liquid droplet impacts a vibrated micro-structured surface with asymmetric topology, the liquids perform a horizontal motion during its bouncing. The moving effect is observed when the liquid is in contact with a low surface energy…
The dynamics of a single elastoviscoplastic (EVP) drop immersed in plane shear flow of a Newtonian fluid is studied by 3D direct numerical simulations using a finite-difference and level-set method combined with the Saramito model for the…
We develop an analytical theory to explain the experimentally-observed morphological transitions of giant vesicles induced by AC electric fields (1). The model treats the inner and suspending media as lossy dielectrics, while the membrane…
A vertical connection of water is formed when a high voltage electrode is dipped in and pulled out of a container of deionized water. We considered the formation and dynamical characteristics of this vertical water bridge. For the first…
A model is constructed to describe the arbitrary deformation of a drop or vesicle that contains and is embedded in an electrolyte solution, where the deformation is caused by an applied electric field. The applied field produces an…
A droplet of millimeter-to-centimeter scale can exhibit electrostatic levitation, and such levitated droplets can be used for the measurement of the surface tension of the liquids by observing the characteristic frequency of oscillatory…
Motivated by recent experiments, we consider theoretically the compression of droplets pinned at the bottom on a surface of finite area. We show that if the droplet is sufficiently compressed at the top by a surface, it will always develop…
The deflection of liquid droplet driven through a liquid medium under the combined action of transverse electric field and pressure driven flow has been studied in the present analysis. The present experimental and numerical analysis…
The deformation and breakup of droplets in airflows is important in spray and atomisation processes, but the shear effect in non-uniform airflow is rarely reported. In this study, the deformation and breakup of droplets in a shear flow of…
Earlier works found out spontaneous directional motion of liquid droplets on hydrophilic conical surfaces, however, not hydrophobic case. Here we show that droplets on any surface may take place spontaneous directional motion without…
The Tayler instability of an azimuthal magnetic field with one or two ``rings'' along the radius is studied for an axially unbounded Taylor-Couette flow. The rotation law of the conducting fluid is a quasi-Keplerian one. Without rotation…
We study the deformation of a two-dimensional viscous droplet in simple shear in the presence of odd viscosity. We derive an analytical solution for the droplet shape and surrounding flow field within the framework of odd Stokes flow,…
Oppositely charged drops have long been assumed to experience an attractive force that favors their coalescence. In this fluid dynamics video we demonstrate the existence of a critical field strength above which oppositely charged drops do…
Inspired by the observation of intricate and beautifully dynamic patterns generated by food coloring on clean glass slides, we have investigated the behavior of propylene glycol and water droplets on high energy surfaces. In this fluid…
