The objective of this work is to investigate the coupling of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer during the impact and evaporation of droplets on a heated solid substrate. A laser-based thermoreflectance method is used to…

We theoretically investigate the apparent contact angle and contact angle hysteresis of a droplet placed on a liquid infused surface. We show that the apparent contact angle is not uniquely defined by material parameters, but also has a…

Droplet coalescence is a common phenomenon and plays an important role in multi-disciplinary applications. Previous studies mainly consider the coalescence of miscible liquid, even though the coalescence of immiscible droplets on a solid…

With the aim to characterize the formation and propagation of bulges in cylindrical rubber balloons, we carry out an expansion of the non-linear axisymmetric membrane model assuming slow axial variations. We obtain a diffuse interface model…

We study the motion of a droplet evolving by mean curvature with volume constraint and contact angle condition on a half space. We prove the existence of a global-in-time weak solution, called the flat flow. A difficulty arises when we…

We investigate imbibition of a monodisperse emulsion into a low-aspect ratio microfluidic channel with the height h comparable to the droplet diameter d. For confinement ratio d/h = 1.2, the tightly confined disk-like droplets in the…

The meniscal tissue is a layered material with varying properties influenced by collagen content and arrangement. Understanding the relationship between structure and properties is crucial for disease management, treatment development, and…

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…

New diffuse interface and sharp interface models for soluble and insoluble surfactants fulfilling energy inequalities are introduced. We discuss their relation with the help of asymptotic analysis and present an existence result for a…

The dynamics of a thin layer of liquid, between a flat solid substrate and an infinitely-thick layer of saturated vapor, is examined. The liquid and vapor are two phases of the same fluid, governed by the diffuse-interface model. The…

The study of interactions between biomimetic membranes and micron-sized particles is crucial for understanding various biological processes. Here, we control microparticle spontaneous engulfment by giant lipid vesicles by tuning particle…

The so-called "Kelvin water dropper" is a simple experiment demonstrating the spontaneous appearance of induced free charge in droplets emitted through a tube. As Lord Kelvin explained, water droplets spontaneously acquire a net charge…

In this fluid dynamics video, results from high fidelity numerical simulations are presented, which have been carried out to study the flow and droplet dynamics of liquid sheets formed by two impinging jets. A three-dimensional…

We study theoretically and experimentally how a thin layer of liquid flows along a flexible beam. The flow is modelled using lubrication theory and the substrate is modelled as an elastica which deforms according to the Euler-Bernoulli…

Liquid-liquid wetting failure is investigated in a two-dimensional Couette system with two immiscible fluids of arbitrary viscosity. The problem is solved exactly using a sharp interface treatment of hydrodynamics (lubrication theory) as a…

In this work, a thermodynamically consistent and conservative diffuse-interface model for gas-liquid-solid multiphase flows is proposed. In this model, a novel free energy for the gas-liquid-solid multiphase flows is established according…

Evaporation alters the molecular interactions and leads to phase separation within the evaporating liquid. The question of whether evaporation could lead to specific phase separation at the liquid interface and eventually to the formation…

In this paper, we consider the formation of droplets in the dimer model on a triangular lattice. The droplets in the dimer model are superposition polygons formed as two overlapping configurations of dimers: constant and movable. We…

We analyse a multi-phase field model for an epithelial monolayer with pairwise adhesions between neighbouring cells following an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, representing the stochastic turnover of junctional molecular motors. These…

We demonstrate a novel technique to fabricate mechanically tunable slippery surfaces using one dimensional (anisotropic) elastic wrinkles. Such wrinkles show tunable topography (amplitude) on the application of mechanical strain. Following…
