Drying drops of colloidal dispersions have attracted attention from researchers since the
nineteenth century. The multiscale nature of the problem involving physics at different …

We consider the time evolution of a sessile drop of volatile partially wetting liquid on a rigid
solid substrate. The drop evaporates under strong confinement, namely, it sits on one of the …

We numerically investigate both single and multiple droplet dissolution with droplets
consisting of less dense liquid dissolving in a denser host liquid. In this situation, buoyancy …

The evaporation dynamics of multiple droplet arrays is important in inkjet printing and spray
coating, where co-operative “shielding” effects increase the overall evaporation time …

Building on the recent theoretical work of Wray et al.[J. Fluid Mech. 884, A45 (2020) JFLSA7
0022-1120 10.1017/jfm. 2019.919] concerning the competitive diffusion-limited evaporation …

In many industrial processes, sessile droplets are well separated in an ordered array and
evaporate to form various patterns. For an evaporating droplet in arrays, the presence of …

We experimentally demonstrate capillary clustering of microdroplets when a microfluidic
water-in-oil emulsion drop was placed on a solid substrate. Distributed evaporation rates …

The main results of two decades of research on self-assembled clusters of microdroplets are
reviewed, from the discovery of the phenomenon to current advances that can be applied to …

Geometry in materials is a key concept which can determine material behavior in ordering,
frustration, and fragmentation. More specifically, the behavior of interacting degrees of …

Multidroplet evaporation is a common phase-change phenomenon not only in nature but
also in many industrial applications, including inkjet printing and spray cooling. The …
