We investigate the wetting properties of the simplest element of an array of random fibers:
two rigid fibers crossing with an inclination angle and in contact with a droplet of a perfectly …

We show that some pieces of cylinders bounded by two parallel straight lines bifurcate in a
family of periodic nonrotational surfaces with constant mean curvature and with the same …

We perform numerical and experimental studies on the melting process of thin films initiated
by a small hole in the continuum regime. The presence of a nontrivial capillary surface …

Most studies on melting under confinement focus only on the solid and liquid melt phases.
Despite its ubiquity, contributions from the capillary interface (liquid/vapor interface) are …

Heterogeneous nucleation can be used to reduce the typical nucleation energy barrier
encountered in phase transformation processes. It entails the early process of formation of a …
