Soft coring: how to get a clarinet out of a flute?
Frederic Lechenault, Iyad Ramdane, Sebastien Moulinet +2
Cutting mozzarella with a dull blade results in poorly shaped slices: the process occurs in a configuration so deformed as to yield unexpectedly curved surfaces. We study the rich…
Experimental evidence of thermal-like behaviour in dense granular suspensions
Nariaki Sakaï, Sébastien Moulinet, Frédéric Lechenault +1
We experimentally investigate the statistical behaviour of a model two-dimensional granular system undergoing stationary sedimentation. Buoyant cylindrical particles are rotated in…
Viscous fingering at ultralow interfacial tension
Siti Aminah Setu, Ioannis Zacharoudiou, Gareth J. Davies +5
We experimentally study the viscous fingering instability in a fluid-fluid phase separated colloid-polymer mixture by means of laser scanning confocal microscopy and microfluidics.…
Height fluctuations of a contact line: a direct measurement of the renormalized disorder correlator
Pierre Le Doussal, Kay Joerg Wiese, Sebastien Moulinet +1
We have measured the center-of-mass fluctuations of the height of a contact line at depinning for two different systems: liquid hydrogen on a rough cesium substrate and isopropanol…
Bouncing or sticky droplets: impalement transitions on superhydrophobic micropatterned surfaces
Denis Bartolo, Farid Bouamrirene, Emilie Verneuil +3
When a liquid drops impinges a hydrophobic rough surface it can either bounce off the surface (fakir droplets) or be impaled and strongly stuck on it (Wenzel droplets). The analysi…
Contact angle measurements on superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Forests : effect of fluid pressure
Catherine Journet, Sebastien Moulinet, Christophe Ybert +2
In this paper the effect of pressure on the contact angle of a water drop on superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube (CNT) forests is studied. Superhydrophobic CNT forests are obtained fr…
