We theoretically investigate the thermally-driven curvature and lipid density fluctuations of a quasi-spherical vesicle, accounting for the dissipation due to monolayer viscosity and intermonolayer friction. The theory predicts that…
The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on thick incompressible substrates. The problem is governed by three length scales: the size of the drop…
We investigate the deformation of elastic microcapsules adsorbed at liquid-liquid interfaces. An initially spherical elastic capsule at a liquid-liquid interface undergoes circumferential stretching due to the liquid-liquid surface tension…
The fluid dynamics of liquid droplet impact on surfaces hold significant relevance to various industrial applications. However, high impact velocities introduce compressible effects, leading to material erosion. A gap in understanding and…
The classical theory of Laplace is not suitable for describing the behavior of microscopic bubbles. The theory of second gradient fluids (which are able to exert shear stresses in equilibrium conditions) allows us to obtain a new expression…
We study fully three-dimensional droplets that slide down an incline by employing a thin-film equation that accounts for capillarity, wettability, and a lateral driving force in small-gradient (or long-wave) approximation. In particular, we…
The idea of working with a near-critical phase-separated liquid mixture whereby the surface tension becomes weak, has recently made the field of laser manipulation of liquid interfaces a much more convenient tool in practice. The…
Molecular dynamics (MD) and continuum simulations are carried out to investigate the influence of shear rate and surface roughness on slip flow of a Newtonian fluid. For weak wall-fluid interaction energy, the nonlinear shear-rate…
We study droplet-impact problems in a three-dimensional cylindrical or equivalent two-dimensional Cartesian geometry. Such structures do have an approximate experimental realization, and they are often simulated a test-bed for computational…
An experimental study of liquid drop impacts on a granular medium is proposed. Four fluids were used to vary physical properties: pure distilled water, water with glycerol at 2 concentrations 1:1 and 1:2 v/v and water with Tween 20 at the…
We have established the surface tension relaxation time in the liquid-solid interfaces of Lennard-Jones (LJ) liquids by means of direct measurements in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The main result is that the relaxation time is…
We investigate compound drops composed of two immiscible nonvolatile partially wetting liquids that slide down an inclined homogeneous smooth solid substrate based on a mesoscopic hydrodynamic two-layer model in full-curvature formulation.…
We study the wetting of a thin elastic filament floating on a fluid surface by a droplet of another, immiscible fluid. This quasi-2D experimental system is the lower-dimensional counterpart of the wetting and wrapping of a droplet by an…
The properties of the interface in a phase-separated solution of polymers with different degrees of polymerization and Kuhn segment lengths are calculated. The starting point is the planar interface, the profile of which is calculated in…
The idea of contact angle was generalized by using the principle of minimum total energy. The problems of the shape of the two-dimensional sessile drop and the drop on an inclined surface are considered. The differential equations…
It is argued that to arrive at a quantitative description of the surface tension of a liquid drop as a function of its inverse radius, it is necessary to include the bending rigidity k and Gaussian rigidity k_bar in its description. New…
Adsorption of liquid on a planar wall decorated by a hydrophilic stripe of width $L$ is considered. Under the condition, that the wall is only partially wet (or dry) while the stripe tends to be wet completely, a liquid drop is formed above…
A planar colloidal monolayer exhibits anomalous collective diffusion due to the hydrodynamic interactions. We investigate how this behavior is affected by the curvature of the monolayer when it resides on the interface of a spherical…
Molecular dynamics simulation is used for studying the contact angle of nanoscale sessile drops on a planar solid wall in a system interacting via the truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones potential. The entire range between total wetting and…
We analyze the surface tension in ultra-cold atomic gases in a quasi one-dimensional and one-dimensional geometry. In recent years, experimental observations have confirmed the ``clustering of atoms" to form droplets in ultra-cold atomic…
