When elasticity affects drop coalescence
Pim J. Dekker, Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes +3
The breakup and coalescence of drops are elementary topological transitions in interfacial flows. The breakup of a drop changes dramatically when polymers are added to the fluid. W…
Theory for the coalescence of viscous lenses
Walter Tewes, Michiel A. Hack, Charu Datt +2
Drop coalescence occurs through the rapid growth of a liquid bridge that connects the two drops. At early times after contact, the bridge dynamics is typically self-similar, with d…
Deformation and relaxation of viscous thin films under bouncing drops
Srinath Lakshman, Walter Tewes, Kirsten Harth +2
Thin, viscous liquid films subjected to impact events can deform. Here we investigate free surface oil film deformations that arise due to the air pressure buildup under the impact…
Self-Similar Liquid Lens Coalescence
Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes, Qingguang Xie +4
A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon contact to form a larger drop. In spite of its importance to various applications, drop coalescence on pre-wetted substr…
Self-organised dip-coating patterns of simple, partially wetting, nonvolatile liquids
Walter Tewes, Markus Wilczek, Svetlana V. Gurevich +1
When a solid substrate is withdrawn from a bath of simple, partially wetting, nonvolatile liquid, one typically distinguishes two regimes, namely, after withdrawal the substrate is…
Nudged Elastic Band calculation of the binding potential for liquids at interfaces
Oleg Buller, Walter Tewes, Andrew J. Archer +3
The wetting behavior of a liquid on solid substrates is governed by the nature of the effective interaction between the liquid-gas and the solid-liquid interfaces, which is describ…
Sliding drops - ensemble statistics from single drop bifurcations
Markus Wilczek, Walter Tewes, Sebastian Engelnkemper +2
Ensembles of interacting drops that slide down an inclined plate show a dramatically different coarsening behavior as compared to drops on a horizontal plate: As drops of different…
Comparing kinetic Monte Carlo and Thin-Film Modeling of Transversal Instabilities of Ridges on Patterned Substrates
Walter Tewes, Oleg Buller, Andreas Heuer +2
We employ kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations and a thin-film continuum model to comparatively study the transverse (i.e., Plateau-Rayleigh) instability of ridges formed by molec…
Modelling Pattern Formation in Dip-Coating Experiments
Markus Wilczek, Walter B. H. Tewes, Svetlana V. Gurevich +3
We briefly review selected mathematical models that describe the dynamics of pattern formation phenomena in dip-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett transfer experiments, where solutions…
