Small drops impinging angularly on thin flowing soap films frequently demonstrate the rare emergence of bulk elastic effects working in-tandem with the more common-place hydrodynamic interactions. Three collision regimes are observable: (a)…
It has been suggested recently that growth and division of a protocell could be modeled by a chemically active droplet with simple chemical reactions driven by an external fuel supply. This model is called the continuum model. Indeed it's…
We present the exact solution of a two-dimensional directed walk model of a drop, or half vesicle, confined between two walls, and attached to one wall. This model is also a generalisation of a polymer model of steric stabilisation recently…
Recently, the authors considered a thin steady developed viscous liquid wall jet passing the sharp trailing edge of a horizontally aligned flat plate under surface tension and the weak action of gravity acting vertically in the asymptotic…
When processing dense emulsions, complex flows stretch and deform droplets to the point of breakup, changing the droplet size distribution and the mechanical properties of the final product. For steady homogeneous flows, a droplet's shape…
The coalescence of liquid drops is a fundamental process that remains incompletely understood, particularly in the intermediate regimes where capillary, viscous, and inertial forces are comparable. Here, we experimentally investigate the…
The quasistationary spreading of a circular liquid drop on a solid substrate typically obeys the so-called Tanner law, with the instantaneous base radius R(t) growing with time as R ~ t^{1/10} -- an effect of the dominant role of capillary…
Droplet impact on rough surfaces is of critical importance to various applications, yet remains incompletely understood. The present work aims to uncover droplet impact dynamics on random hydrophobic surfaces using volume of fluid…
Droplet impact behavior has attracted much attention recently due to its academic significance and diverse industrial applications. This study employs the lattice Boltzmann method to simulate the impact of a droplet on a hydrophobic plate…
Many numerical studies validate droplet wall impact using only maximum spreading diameter, yet this metric alone cannot ensure correct droplet dynamics. We present a combined dynamic contact angle (DCA) model that merges the geometric…
This paper proposes a simple new closure principle for turbulent shear flows. The turbulent flow field is divided into an outer and an inner region. The inner region is made up of a log-law region and a wall layer. The wall layer is viewed…
In this paper, a wetting boundary scheme used to describe the interactions among ternary fluids and solid is proposed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This scheme for three-phase fluids can preserve the reduction…
The dynamics of drop impact on a rigid surface -- omnipresent in nature and technology -- strongly depends on the droplet's velocity, its size, and its material properties. The main characteristics are the droplet's force exerted on the…
Lagrangian stochastic methods are widely used to model turbulent flows. Scarce consideration has, however, been devoted to the treatment of the near-wall region and to the formulation of a proper wall-boundary condition. With respect to…
We experimentally investigated the splashing of dense suspension droplets impacting a solid surface, extending prior work to the regime where the viscosity of the suspending liquid becomes a significant parameter. The overall behavior can…
Heterogeneous condensation of vapours mixed with a carrier gas in the stagnation point boundary layer flow near a cold wall is considered in the presence of solid particles much larger than the mean free path of vapour particles. The…
The rich structures arising from the impingement dynamics of water drops onto solid substrates at high velocities are investigated numerically. Current methodologies in the aircraft industry estimating water collection on aircraft surfaces…
We use a theoretical model to explore how fluid dynamics, in particular, the pressure gradient and wall shear stress in a channel, affect the deposition of particles flowing in a microfluidic network. Experiments on transport of colloidal…
We study spreading dynamics of nematic liquid crystal droplets within the framework of the long-wave approximation. A fourth order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation governing the free surface evolution is derived. The…
Droplets move on substrates with a spatio-temporal wettability pattern as generated, for example, on light-switchable surfaces. To study such cases, we implement the boundary-element method to solve the governing Stokes equations for the…
