In this paper, a numerical investigation of bubble dynamics during nucleate pool boiling is conducted using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Unlike the perfectly dielectric fluid …
When two drops collide, they may either exhibit complete coalescence or selectively generate secondary drops, depending on their relative sizes and physical properties, as …
Droplets are known to elongate in extensional flow and exhibit capillary instabilities following flow cessation. Under several practical scenarios, where the deformed drops are …

A rotating object placed on a wall can generate an additional translating motion. Inspired by this phenomenon, we unfold a novel approach to the self-propulsion of a Quincke rotating …
Cross-stream migration of a droplet in an incipient flow turns out to be of outstanding importance in several emerging applications encompassing chemistry, engineering and …
Generation, migration, and coalescence of droplets are some of the fundamental phenomena observed in multiphase microfluidic devices that offer widespread application in …
Electric fields can be used to exert controlled time-varying forces on a droplet under progressive stretching in an extensional flow, allowing for its precise manipulation in various …
