Fundamental fluid dynamics challenges in inkjet printing

D Lohse - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

Sharp interface methods for simulation and analysis of free surface flows with singularities: Breakup and coalescence

CR Anthony, H Wee, V Garg, SS Thete… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
A common feature of many free surface flows—drop/bubble breakup or coalescence and
film/sheet rupture—is the occurrence of hydrodynamic singularities. Accurately computing …

Design of a venation-like patterned surface with hybrid wettability for highly efficient fog harvesting

J Guo, W Huang, Z Guo, W Liu - Nano Letters, 2022 - ACS Publications
Inspired by Namib Desert beetle and leaf venation, a wettability-integrated system consisting
of wettability-hybrid coatings and venation-like patterns was designed and successfully …

Numerical simulations of self-propelled jumping upon drop coalescence on non-wetting surfaces

F Liu, G Ghigliotti, JJ Feng, CH Chen - Journal of Fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Coalescing drops spontaneously jump out of plane on a variety of biological and synthetic

Fog-harvesting inspired by the Stenocara beetle—An analysis of drop collection and removal from biomimetic samples with wetting contrast

B White, A Sarkar, AM Kietzig - Applied Surface Science, 2013 - Elsevier
This work examines the fog-harvesting ability of patterned and non-patterned samples in
spray chamber experiments. The samples were prepared from different materials and the …

[图书][B] The physics of dew, breath figures and dropwise condensation

D Beysens - 2022 - Springer
My interest in dew and Breath Figures (BFs, the pattern that forms on a cold surface when
breathing) started long ago when I was intrigued to see a ring around a streetlight from the …

Symmetric and asymmetric coalescence of drops on a substrate

JF Hernández-Sánchez, LA Lubbers, A Eddi… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
The coalescence of viscous drops on a substrate is studied experimentally and theoretically.
We consider cases where the drops can have different contact angles, leading to a very …

Influence of droplet geometry on the coalescence of low viscosity drops

A Eddi, KG Winkels, JH Snoeijer - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
The coalescence of water drops on a substrate is studied experimentally. We focus on the
rapid growth of the bridge connecting the two drops, which very quickly after contact ensues …

Elasticity can affect droplet coalescence

SC Varma, D Dasgupta, A Kumar - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Coalescence of two droplets on a solid substrate is an interfacial phenomenon that imposes
the challenges of capturing the complex contact line motion and energy interaction between …

Three-dimensional self-similarity of coalescing viscous drops in the thin-film regime

PR Kaneelil, AA Pahlavan, N Xue, HA Stone - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Coalescence and breakup of drops are classic problems in fluid physics that often involve
self-similarity and singularity formation. While the coalescence of suspended drops is …
