Ultimate regimes in horizontal and internally heated convection
Olga Shishkina, Detlef Lohse
We derive asymptotic models for the ultimate regimes in horizontal convection (HC) and pure internally heated convection (IHC), in analogy with our recent (2024) extension of the u…
Holes in Sheets: Double-Threshold Rupture of Draining Liquid Films
Ayush K. Dixit, Chunheng Zhao, Stéphane Zaleski +2
Classical rupture is attributed to molecular (van der Waals) forces acting at nanometric thicknesses. Nonetheless, micron-thick liquid sheets routinely perforate far above the scal…
Hidden in plain sight: How evaporation impacts the pendant drop method
Pim J. Dekker, Christian Diddens, Marjolein N. van der Linden +1
The surface tension of a liquid, which drives most free surface flows at small scales, is often measured with the pendant drop method due to its simplicity and reliability. When th…
Transition to the ultimate regime of turbulent convection in stratified inclined duct flow
Rundong Zhou, Adrien Lefauve, Roberto Verzicco +1
The stratified inclined duct (SID) flow provides a canonical model for sustained, buoyancy-driven exchange between two reservoirs of different density, and emerges as a new paradig…
Disk impact on a boiling liquid: Dynamics of the entrapped vapor pocket
Yee Li Fan, Bernardo Palacios Muniz, Nayoung Kim +1
Upon the impact of a flat disk on a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid that is in thermal equilibrium with its own vapor, a thin vapor layer is entrapped under the disk. Due to the ten…
Basal layer of granular flow down smooth and rough inclines: kinematics, slip laws and rheology
Teng Wang, Lu Jing, Fiona C. Y. Kwok +3
Granular flow down an inclined plane is ubiquitous in geophysical and industrial applications. On rough inclines, the flow exhibits Bagnold's velocity profile and follows the so-ca…
A Diffuse-Interface Marangoni Instability
Xiangwei Li, Dongdong Wan, Haohao Hao +3
We investigate a novel Marangoni-induced instability that arises exclusively in diffuse fluid interfaces, absent in classical sharp-interface models. Using a validated phase-field…
Collective effects of neighbouring melting ice objects
Sofía Angriman, Detlef Lohse, Roberto Verzicco +1
We present a study on the melting dynamics of neighbouring ice bodies by means of idealised simulations, focusing on collective effects, with the goal of obtaining fundamental insi…
Dynamic pressure enhancement upon disk impact on a boiling liquid
Yee Li, Fan, Bernardo Palacios Muniz +2
We experimentally investigate the impact of a flat, horizontal disk onto a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid in thermal equilibrium with its vapor phase. We observe exceptionally high…
Solute mixing in porous media with dispersion and buoyancy
Marco De Paoli, Guru Sreevanshu Yerragolam, Roberto Verzicco +1
We analyse the process of convective mixing in two-dimensional, homogeneous and isotropic porous media with dispersion. We considered a Rayleigh-Taylor instability in which the pre…
To jump or not to jump: Adhesion and viscous dissipation dictate the detachment of coalescing wall-attached bubbles
Çayan Demirkır, Rui Yang, Aleksandr Bashkatov +3
Bubble coalescence can promote bubble departure at much smaller sizes compared to buoyancy. This can critically enhance the efficiency of gas-evolving electrochemical processes, su…
Marangoni flow driven hysteresis and azimuthal symmetry breaking in evaporating binary droplets
Duarte Rocha, Detlef Lohse, Christian Diddens
The non-uniform evaporation rate at the liquid-gas interface of binary droplets induces solutal Marangoni flows. In glycerol-water mixtures (positive Marangoni number, where the mo…
Melting of floating ice cylinders in fresh and saline environments
Edoardo Bellincioni, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
We experimentally investigated the melting of floating ice cylinders. Experiments were carried out in a tank, with ice cylinders with radii between 5 cm and 12 cm, floating horizon…
Buoyancy-driven flow regimes for a melting vertical ice cylinder in saline water
Dehao Xu, Simen T. Bootsma, Roberto Verzicco +2
The presence of salt in seawater significantly affects the melt rate and morphological evolution of ice. This study investigates the melting process of a vertical cylinder in salin…
Unifying theory of scaling in drop impact: Forces & maximum spreading diameter
Vatsal Sanjay, Detlef Lohse
The dynamics of drop impact on a rigid surface -- omnipresent in nature and technology -- strongly depends on the droplet's velocity, its size, and its material properties. The mai…
Full rotational dynamics of plastic microfibers in turbulence
Vlad Giurgiu, Giuseppe Carlo Alp Caridi, Marco De Paoli +1
The motion, settling, and dispersion of microplastics in the ocean are determined by their rotational dynamics. We present experiments on elongated, large aspect ratio, and mildly…
Soft Condensation
Ambre Bouillant, Christopher Henkel, Uwe Thiele +2
When moist air meets a cold surface, it creates a breath figure characterized by numerous small droplets. The central question is how the vapor flux is distributed between the grow…
Thermocavitation in gold-coated microchannels for needle-free jet injection
Jelle J. Schoppink, Nicolás Rivera Bueno, David Fernandez Rivas
Continuous-wave lasers generated bubbles in microfluidic channels are proposed for applications such as needle-free jet injection due to their small size and affordable price of th…
Low-cost wind turbine aeroacoustic predictions using actuator lines
Laura Botero-Bolivar, Oscar A Marino, Cornelis H. Venner +2
Aerodynamic noise is a limitation for further exploitation of wind energy resources. As this type of noise is caused by the interaction of turbulent flow with the airframe, a detai…
Life beyond Fritz: On the detachment of electrolytic bubbles
Çayan Demirkır, Jeffery A. Wood, Detlef Lohse +1
We present an experimental study on detachment characteristics of hydrogen bubbles during electrolysis. Using a transparent (Pt or Ni) electrode enables us to directly observe the…
Direct numerical simulations of microlayer formation during heterogeneous bubble nucleation
Mandeep Saini, Xiang Bin Chen, Stephane Zaleski +1
In this article, we present direct numerical simulation results for the expansion of spherical cap bubbles attached to a rigid wall due to a sudden drop in the ambient pressure. Th…
Interfacial dripping faucet: generating monodisperse liquid lenses
Lorène Champougny, Vincent Bertin, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
We present a surface analog to a dripping faucet, where a viscous liquid slides down an immiscible meniscus. Periodic pinch-off of the dripping filament is observed, generating a s…
Circular objects do not melt the slowest in water
Rui Yang, Thijs van den Ham, Roberto Verzicco +2
We report on the melting dynamics of ice suspended in fresh water and subject to natural convective flows. Using direct numerical simulations we investigate the melt rate of ellips…
Laser beam properties and microfluidic confinement control thermocavitation
Jelle J. Schoppink, Jose A. Alvarez-Chavez, David Fernandez Rivas
Thermocavitation, the creation of a vapor bubble by heating a liquid with a continuous-wave laser, has been studied for a wide range of applications. Examples include the developme…
