Liquid droplets sliding along solid surfaces are a frequently observed phenomenon in nature, e.g., raindrops on a leaf, and in everyday situations, e.g., drops of water in a drinking glass. To model this situation, we use a phase field…
The classical wetting models, such as the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter have been extensively used to quantify the wettability of laser-textured surfaces. However, these models do not provide any description of the corresponding droplet…
Droplet impact on a surface is practically relevant to a variety of fields in nature and industry, while a complete control of its outcomes remains challenging due to various unmanageable factors. In this work, we propose the quantum…
We simulate gravity driven dynamics of partially wetting droplets moving along a fibre using the lattice Boltzmann method. For the so-called clamshell morphology, we find three possible dynamic regimes upon varying the droplet Bond number…
The vaporization of a freely moving drop in a uniform, high-temperature gas stream is investigated through direct numerical simulation. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension and phase change are solved in…
The steady state motion of cylindrical droplets under the action of external body force is investigated both theoretically and via lattice Boltzmann simulation. As long as the shape-invariance of droplet is maintained, the droplet's…
The dynamics of the interaction of a system of two thin volatile liquid droplets resting on a soft viscoelastic solid substrate are investigated theoretically. The developed model fully considers the effect of evaporative cooling and the…
Janus colloids propelled by light, e.g., thermophoretic particles, offer promising prospects as artificial microswimmers. However, their swimming behavior and its dependence on fluid properties and fluid-colloid interactions remain poorly…
The impact of water droplets on thin layers of immiscible viscous liquids, such as oil films, is commonly encountered across contexts ranging from kitchen activities to industrial processes. In this study, we experimentally investigate the…
We numerically study the behavior of self-propelled liquid droplets whose motion is triggered by a Marangoni-like flow. This latter is generated by variations of surfactant concentration which affect the droplet surface tension promoting…
We introduce a numerical method for investigating interfacial flows coupled with frictional solid particles. Our method combines the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to model the dynamics of a two-component fluid and the discrete element…
An analytical model is proposed for the Young-Laplace equation of two-dimensional (2D) drops under gravity. Inspired by the pioneering work of Landau & Lifshitz (1987), we derive analytical expressions of the profile of drops on flat…
The impact of droplets is a ubiquitous phenomenon, and reducing the residence time of the impact process is important for many potential applications. In this study of the impact dynamics on heated surfaces, we identify a mode of droplet…
The field of active matter, and particularly active emulsions, is growing rapidly, with significant progress made recently on both theoretical and experimental fronts. Here, we summarize experimental research progress related to active…
We study the hydrodynamic behaviour of a mesoscale numerical model for wetting dynamics based on the immersed boundary - lattice Boltzmann (IBLB) method. This IBLB model features a wetting potential to capture the interaction between a…
During coalescence of liquid drops contacting a solid, the liquid sweeps wetted and solid-projected areas. The extent of sweeping dictates the performance of devices such as self-cleaning surfaces, anti-frost coatings, water harvesters, and…
We employ a free energy lattice Boltzmann method to study the dynamics of a ternary fluid system consisting of a liquid drop driven by a body force across a regularly textured substrate, infused by a lubricating liquid. We focus on the case…
The contact angle of a fluid droplet on an heterogeneous surface is analysed using the statistical dynamics of the spreading contact line. The statistical properties of the final droplet radius and contact angle are obtained through…
We investigate the dynamics of drop impact on a thin liquid film at short times in order to identify the mechanisms of splashing formation. Using numerical simulations and scaling analysis, we show that the splashing formation depends both…
In this article, we experimentally investigate the impact of a submillimetric water jet on a horizontal surface heated well above the "static" Leidenfrost temperature of water. We observe the transition from a regime where a single drop…
