The impact of droplets on an inclined falling liquid film is studied experimentally using high-speed imaging. The falling film is created on a flat substrate with controllable thicknesses and flow rates. Droplets with different sizes and…
Hypothesis: Surrounding fluids affect critically drop wetting dynamics in many applications involving viscous environments. Although macroscopic effects of outer fluid viscosity on contact line motion have been documented, the extent to…
The liquid cone-jet mode can be produced upon stimulation by a co-flowing gas sheath. Most applications deal with the jet breakup, leading to either of two droplet generation regimes: jetting and dripping. The cone-jet flow pattern is…
We report on singular jets in a free-falling liquid tin droplet following nanosecond laser-pulse impact. Following impact, the droplet (with diameter $D_0=50$ or 70\,$\mu$m) undergoes rapid radial expansion and subsequent retraction,…
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…
Droplet impact is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs when a liquid droplet collides with a surface. It is not only a fundamental area of scientific inquiry but also has practical implications across many industries and natural systems.…
We analyze the interaction of a radiation-dominated jet and its surroundings using the equations of radiation hydrodynamics in the viscous limit. In a previous paper we considered the two-stream scenario, which treats the jet and its…
When droplets approach a liquid surface, they have a tendency to merge in order to minimize surface energy. However, under certain conditions, they can exhibit a phenomenon called coalescence delay, where they remain separate for tens of…
Droplet impact phenomena are ubiquitous in both nature and industry. Existing studies of droplet impact have focused on the kinematics of droplet impact on flat surfaces, whereas research on cylindrical surfaces remains relatively limited,…
This study experimentally and numerically investigates the dynamics of a high-speed liquid jet generated from the interaction of two tandem cavitation bubbles, termed bubble 1 and bubble 2, depending on their generation sequence. In our…
When a liquid jet plunges into a pool, it can generate a bubble-laden jet flow underneath the surface. This common and simple phenomenon is investigated experimentally for circular jets to illustrate and quantify the role played by the net…
We study singular jets from the collapse of drop-impact craters, when the drop and pool are of different immiscible liquids. These jets emerge from a dimple at the bottom of the rebounding crater, when no bubble is pinched off. The…
A spontaneous breakup of a liquid jet results in the formation of a chain of droplets, which is a daily observed phenomenon, such as in the raining process and under an open water-faucet. We here report inkjet printing experiments for the…
Previous experimental studies have shown that when a layer of solid particles is explosively dispersed, the particles often develop a non-uniform spatial distribution. The instabilities within the particle bed and at the particle layer…
A liquid jet can stably bounce off a sufficiently soft gel, by following the contour of the dimple created upon impact. This new phenomenon is insensitive to the wetting properties of the gels and was observed for different liquids over a…
Three-dimensional, time-dependent direct simulations of step emulsification micro-devices highlight two essential mechanisms for droplet formation: first, the onset of an adverse pressure gradient driving a back-flow of the continuous phase…
Although it is commonly expected that a metal disk placed on the surface of water will sink, our investigation has revealed a surprising phenomenon: a vertical jet directed onto the disk from above can allow it to remain afloat. This result…
Drops impacting on a surface are ubiquitous in our everyday experience. This impact is understood within a commonly accepted hydrodynamic picture: it is initiated by a rapid shock and a subsequent ejection of a sheet leading to beautiful…
Jet impingement enhances heat transfer and is characterised by the complex flow patterns formed when a jet impacts a plate aligned normal to it. While traditional round jet impingement has been extensively studied to understand flow and…
Microstructured surfaces that control the direction of liquid transport are not only ubiquitous in nature, but they are also central to technological processes such as fog/water harvesting, oil-water separation, and surface lubrication.…
