Capillary forces acting at the surface of a liquid drop can be strong enough to deform small objects and recent studies have provided several examples of elastic instabilities induced by surface tension. We present such an example where a…
Sessile droplets exposed to an incipient condition lead to an inevitable loss of mass, which is critical in many practical applications. By considering an arbitrarily configured two-dimensional array of droplets, here we provide a simple…
The evaporation of a binary sessile ethanol-water droplet on an inclined substrate is studied experimentally just below the critical sliding angles for different substrate temperatures. A customized goniometer equipped with a CMOS camera…
A model accounting for finite spatial dimensions of the deposit patterns in the evaporating sessile drops of colloidal solution on a plane substrate is proposed. The model is based on the assumption that the solute particles occupy finite…
We study the mechanics of evaporation and precipitate formation in pure and bacteria-laden sessile whole blood droplets in the context of disease diagnostics. Using experimental and theoretical analysis, we show evaporation process has…
Evaporating sessile droplets have been known to exhibit oscillations on the air-liquid interface. These are generally over millimeter scales. Using a novel approach, we are able to measure surface height changes of 500 nm amplitude using…
The article demonstrates that the internal circulation velocity and patterns in sessile droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces is governed by the surface curvature. Particle Image Velocimetry reveals that increasing convexity deteriorates…
A model is developed for describing the transport of charged colloidal particles in an evaporating sessile droplet on the electrified metal substrate in the presence of a solvent flow. The model takes into account the electric charge of…
For a small sessile or pendant droplet it is generally assumed that gravity does not play any role once the Bond number is small. This is even assumed for evaporating binary sessile or pendant droplets, in which convective flows can be…
Simple analytical relations for predicting pressure-deformation relations of drops/bubbles on capillaries with elastocapillary interfaces confirmed by Surface Evolver simulations.
The internal flow within an evaporating sessile droplet is one of the driving mechanisms that lead to the variety of particle deposition patterns seen in applications such as inkjet printing, surface patterning, and blood stain analysis.…
The stationary single vortex Marangoni convection in an axially symmetrical sessile drop of capillary size is considered. The detailed description of the fluid flows is presented for a wide range of contact angles, which takes into account…
The merging of immiscible drops differs significantly from the merging of miscible drops due to the formation of a liquid-liquid interface between drops. The immiscibility requires the formation of a four-phase contact point, where the…

The present study examines evaporative cooling and the resulting deposition patterns of a sessile $Al_2O_3$-based nanofluid droplet on a hydrophobic glass substrate at different temperatures. Evaporation predominantly occurs in the pinned…
Using lubrication theory, drying processes of sessile colloidal droplets on a solid substrate are studied. A simple model is proposed to describe temporal dynamics both the shape of the drop and the volume fraction of the colloidal…
Evaporation of a liquid drop surrounded by either vapor of the same fluid, or vapor and air, is usually attributed to vapor diffusion -- which, however, does not apply to the former setting, as pure fluids do not diffuse. The present paper…
The deposition of particles on a surface by an evaporating sessile droplet is important for phenomena as diverse as printing, thin-film deposition and self-assembly. The shape of the final deposit depends on the flows within the droplet…
The flow near a moving contact line depends on the dynamic contact angle, viscosity ratio, and capillary number. We report experiments involving immersing a plate into a liquid bath, concurrently measuring the interface shape, interfacial…
The theory of solute transfer and deposit growth in evaporating sessile drops on a plane substrate is presented. The main ideas and the principal equations are formulated. The problem is solved analytically for two important geometries:…
