It is known from both experiments and molecular dynamics simulations that chemically patterning a solid surface has an effect on the flow of an adjacent liquid. This fact is in stark contrast with predictions of classical fluid mechanics…
We investigate the motion through a wet tube of transverse soap films, or lamellae, of high surface dilatationnal modulus. Combining local thickness and velocity measurements in the wetting film, we reveal a zone of several centimeters in…
Soap bubbles can be easily generated by varies methods, while their formation process is complicated and still worth study. A model about the bubble formation process was proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 077801 recently, and it was…
A soap film, or a flexible membrane without bending and torsional stiffness, that is confined in a cylinder is shown to be susceptible to a surface-tension-driven instability when it is stretched or twisted. This leads to its breakdown and…
The amount of air entrained by vertical water jets impacting a large pool is revisited. To test available phenomenological models, new data on the jet deformation at impact and on the entrained air flow rate were collected both on a…
We conduct a series of experiments with a special interest on a penetration process and instabilities arisen on a liquid jet impinged to a liquid of the same kind flowing in a channel. The impinged jet penetrates into the flowing bath…
The impact of a liquid drop with high Reynolds and Weber numbers on a wet solid surface typically results in the emergence, rising, and expansion of a corona-like thin jet. This phenomenon is explained by the propagation of a kinematic…
We investigate the collision of a continuous liquid jet with a regular stream of immiscible droplets. The immiscible liquids, namely silicon oil for the continuous jet and an aqueous glycerol solution for the drop stream, are selected to…
Falling liquid films become unstable due to inertial effects when the fluid layer is sufficiently thick or the slope sufficiently steep. This free surface flow of a single fluid layer has industrial applications including coating and heat…
We investigate the dynamics of a gas jet impinging on a thin liquid film. This configuration is relevant to the jet-wiping process and is unstable. In particular, we complement previous works that focused on the wiping of liquids with low…
Millimeter-sized particles trapped at the surface of a liquid bath attract each other through the deformation of the liquid-air interface, a phenomenon known as "the Cheerios effect". We consider here a situation similar at first sight: the…
We observe tracer particles diffusing in soap films to measure the two-dimensional (2D) viscous properties of the films. We make soap films with a variety of water-glycerol mixtures and of differing thicknesses. The single-particle…
In this paper we re-examine the flow produced by the normal impact of a laminar liquid jet onto an infinite plane when the flow is dominated by surface tension. It is observed experimentally that after impact the liquid spreads radially…
The flow patterns created by a coherent horizontal liquid jet impinging on a vertical wall atmoderate flow rates (jet flowrates 0.5-4.0 L min-1, jet velocities 2.6-21 m s-1) are studied withwater on glass, polypropylene and…
Surface waves on liquids act as a dynamical phase grating for incident light. In this article, we revisit the classical method of probing such waves (wavelengths of the order of mm) as well as inherent properties of liquids and liquid films…
Liquid foams are widely used in industry for their high effective viscosity, whose local origin is still unclear. This Letter presents new results on the extension of a suspended soap film, in a configuration mimicking the elementary…
"The Life of a Free Soap Film" is a fluid dynamics video for the Gallery of Fluid Motion intended to showcase the novel experimental techniques that we have developed in our laboratory to study the retraction of planar liquid films of…
Droplet impact on thin liquid films is commonly studied on quiescent surfaces, although practical systems often involve residual capillary waves generated by preceding droplets. This study examines how such traveling waves modify impact…
We study the deformation and dewetting of liquid films under impinging gas jets using experimental, analytical and numerical techniques. We first derive a reduced-order model (a thin-film equation) based on the long-wave assumption and on…
When a drop impacts a solid substrate or a thin liquid film, a thin gas disc is entrapped due to surface tension, the gas disc retracts into one or several bubbles. While the evolution of the gas disc for impact on solid substrate or film…
