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 …
The evaporation of a sessile droplet spontaneously induces an internal capillary liquid flow. The surface-tension driven minimisation of surface area and/or surface-tension differences …
The evaporation of sessile drops is central to a number of important processes, including printing, washing and coating. In this paper, the evaporation of water sessile droplets on …
A physically credible relationship based on the unbalanced Young force between the initial and receding contact angles of an evaporating droplet is proposed and used to give a …
The manner in which the extreme modes of droplet evaporation (namely, the constant contact radius and the constant contact angle modes) become indistinguishable on strongly …
In many technological applications, excess solvent must be removed from liquid droplets to deposit solutes onto substrates. Often, the substrates on which the droplets rest may …
The evaporation of picoliter water and ethanol droplets generated by drop-on-demand inkjet printing was investigated on substrates with apparent contact angles between 10∘ and …
Drying of droplets on inclined substrates is relevant to applications such as spray coating, ink-jet printing, and crime-scene reconstruction. Recent experiments have shown that …
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 …
