Contact angle measurement is an effective way to investigate solid surface properties. The
introduction of low-cost digital cameras, as well as software and libraries for image analysis …

Colloids are ubiquitous in the natural environment, playing an important role in facilitating
the transport of absorbed contaminants. However, due to the complexities arising from two …

In this study, a numerical method is developed to perform the direct numerical simulation
(DNS) of gas-solid-liquid flows involving capillary effects. The volume-of-fluid method …

Most solid surfaces acquire a finite surface charge after exposure to aqueous environments
caused by desorption and/or adsorption of ionic species. The resulting electrostatic forces …

Superrepellency is a favorable nonwetting scenario featuring a dramatic reduction of the
solid/liquid contact area. The robustness of superhydrophobicity plays a central role in self …

The equilibrium morphology of liquid drops exposed to geometric constraints can be rather
complex. Even for simple geometries, analytical solutions are scarce. Here, we investigate …

We demonstrate the continuous translational invariance of the energy of a capillary surface
in contact with reconfigurable solid boundaries. We present a theoretical approach to find …

Patterning the wettability of solid surfaces is a successful strategy to control the dropwise
condensation of vapor onto partially wetting solid surfaces. The condensation of water vapor …

Low-voltage electrowetting on dielectrics on substrates with a thin layer of lubricating fluid to
reduce contact angle hysteresis is reported here. On smooth and homogeneous solid …

We consider free and forced oscillations of a clamped liquid drop. The drop is surrounded by
an incompressible fluid of a different density. In equilibrium, the drop has the form of a …
