Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

This review is devoted to the simple process of drying a multicomponent droplet of a
complex fluid which may contain salt or other inclusions. These processes provide a …

In this article, we report the experimental evidence and an analytical model for the first time
to predict the evaporation kinetics of sessile droplets seated on generic curved surfaces …

Understanding the transients of buckling in drying colloidal suspensions is pivotal for
producing new functional microstructures with tunable morphologies. Here, we report first …

Evaporation of a sessile droplet often exhibits a mixed evaporation mode, where the contact
radius and the contact angle simultaneously vary with time. For sessile water droplets …

Sessile water droplets on hydrophobic substrates have been subjected to mechanical
oscillations to excite mean streaming flows in the liquid phase. The driving frequencies are …

We present a study of patterns, formed in drying drops of aqueous gelatin solution
containing sodium sulphate. The patterns are highly complex, consisting of a hierarchical …

A three-dimensional Navier–Stokes and continuity equation model is employed to
numerically predict the resonant modes of sessile droplets on horizontally vibrating …

Sessile water droplets containing nano-silica particles are allowed to evaporate in the
presence of driven substrate oscillations at chosen frequencies. Different mode shapes are …

We report the dynamics and underlying physics of evaporation driven transitions and
autotuning of oscillation modes in sessile droplets subject to substrate perturbations. We …
