We study the deformation and breakup of an axisymmetric electrolyte drop which is freely suspended in an infinite dielectric medium and subjected to an imposed electric field. The electric potential in the drop phase is assumed small, so…

A free-falling absorbing liquid drop hit by a nanosecond laser-pulse experiences a strong recoil-pressure kick. As a consequence, the drop propels forward and deforms into a thin sheet which eventually fragments. We study how the drop…

We have developed a simulation model to study the hydrodynamic flow fields around Brownian colloidal particles with an active surface patch. Hydrodynamics is introduced by modeling low-Reynolds-number fluid flows around a colloid using…

A fluid droplet in general deforms, if subject to active driving, such as a finite slip velocity or active tractions on its interface. We show that these deformations and their dynamics can be computed analytically in a perturbation theory…

The present study theoretically predicts the effect of interfacial viscosity on the deformation of a compound drop as well as on the bulk rheology. The system at hand comprises of a dilute emulsion of concentric compound drops, laden with…

The stability of shapes formed by three viscoelastic droplets during their arrested coalescence has been investigated using micromanipulation experiments. Addition of a third droplet to arrested droplet doublets is shown to be controlled by…

Precise control of multiphase microfluidic flows underpins applications ranging from chemical processing to biomedical diagnostics. We investigate the response of a liquid--liquid coflow in a rectangular microchannel to an externally…

Fluidic interfaces disintegrate under sufficiently strong electric fields, leading to electrohydrodynamic (EHD) tip streaming. Taylor cones, which emit charged droplets from the tip of a conical cusp, are among the most prominent and…

We study the effect of surfactant on the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform DC electric field using a combination of numerical simulations based on a boundary integral formulation and an analytical theory assuming small…

Evolution of a suspension drop entrained by Poiseuille flow is studied numerically at a low Reynolds number. A suspension drop is modelled by a cloud of many non-touching particles, initially randomly distributed inside a spherical volume…

This paper explores the friction forces encountered by droplets on non-wetting surfaces, specifically focusing on superhydrophobic and superheated substrates. Employing a combination of experimental techniques, including inclined plane…

Droplets coalescing on a superhydrophobic surface exhibit coalescence-induced droplet jumping. However, water vapor condensing on a superhydrophobic surface can result in simultaneous formation of condensate droplets with two distinct…

Droplets bouncing on a vibrated liquid bath open ways to methods of manipulating droplets, creating double emulsion and performing pilot wave model experiments. In this work, we focus on the role of the droplet deformations in the vertical…

We study the hydrodynamics and shape changes of chemically active droplets. In non-spherical droplets, surface tension generates hydrodynamic flows that drive liquid droplets into a spherical shape. Here we show that spherical droplets that…

An evaporating droplet is a dynamic system in which flow is spontaneously generated to minimize the surface energy, dragging particles to the borders and ultimately resulting in the so-called "coffee-stain effect". The situation becomes…

This study has numerically investigated the effect of surface wettability on two-phase immiscible flow and dynamics of droplet pinch-off in a T-junction microchannel using finite element method. A conservative level set method (CLSM) has…

Garc\'ia-Aguilar et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett 126, 038001 (2021)] have shown that the deformations of "shape-shifting droplets" are consistent with an elastic model, that, unlike previous models, includes the intrinsic curvature of the frozen…

The wetting of solid surfaces can be manoeuvred by altering the energy balance at the interfacial region. While electric field acts favourably to spread a droplet on a rigid surface, this tendency may be significantly suppressed over soft…

Understanding the dynamics of drops on polymer-coated surfaces is crucial for optimizing applications such as self-cleaning materials or microfluidic devices. While the static and dynamic properties of deposited drops have been well…

The deformation of viscoelastic drops under electric fields plays a crucial role in applications such as microfluidics, inkjet printing, and electrohydrodynamic manipulation of complex fluids. This study examines the deformation and breakup…
