Flow and drop transport along liquid-infused surfaces

S Hardt, G McHale - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …

Emulsions in porous media: From single droplet behavior to applications for oil recovery

A Perazzo, G Tomaiuolo, V Preziosi, S Guido - Advances in colloid and …, 2018 - Elsevier

Universality of friction laws on liquid-infused materials

A Keiser, P Baumli, D Vollmer, D Quéré - Physical Review Fluids, 2020 - APS
Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) make drops remarkably mobile. However, the dynamics of
those drops proved to be subtle, due to the numerous phases at stake (lubricating liquid …

Critical parameters of the Jamin effect in a capillary tube with a contracted cross section

S Liu, X Dou, Q Zeng, J Liu - Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2021 - Elsevier
The Jamin effect acting as a flow resistance induced by bubbles or droplets, plays a critical
role in the recovery of oils by water flooding, which is caused by the hysteresis of contact …

Amoeboid swimming is propelled by molecular paddling in lymphocytes

generation at shallow microfluidic T-junction, where the flow is strongly confined in the …

Measurements and simulation of liquid films during drainage displacements and snap-off in constricted capillary tubes

S Roman, MO Abu-Al-Saud, T Tokunaga, J Wan… - Journal of colloid and …, 2017 - Elsevier
When a wetting liquid is displaced by air in a capillary tube, a wetting film develops between
the tube wall and the air that is responsible for the snap-off mechanism of the gas phase. By …

Thin films in partial wetting: stability, dewetting and coarsening

AA Pahlavan, L Cueto-Felgueroso, AE Hosoi… - Journal of Fluid …, 2018 - cambridge.org
A uniform nanometric thin liquid film on a solid substrate can become unstable due to the
action of van der Waals (vdW) forces. The instability leads to dewetting of the uniform film …
