How long will a bubble be ?
T. Gilet, T. Scheller, E. Reyssat +2
A soap bubble is a metastable object that eventually breaks. Indeed, the soapy water film thins until rupture, due to drainage and evaporation. In our experimental investigations,…
About the lifetime of a bouncing droplet
D. Terwagne, S. Dorbolo, N. Vandewalle
When a droplet is gently laid onto the surface of the same liquid, it stays at rest for a moment before coalescence. The coalescence can be delayed and sometimes inhibited by injec…
Effects of electromagnetic waves on the electrical properties of contacts between grains
S. Dorbolo, A. Merlen, M. Creyssels +3
A DC electrical current is injected through a chain of metallic beads. The electrical resistances of each bead-bead contacts are measured. At low current, the distribution of these…
Controlling the partial coalescence of a droplet on a vertically vibrated bath
T. Gilet, N. Vandewalle, S. Dorbolo
A new method is proposed to stop the cascade of partial coalescences of a droplet laid on a liquid bath. The strategy consists in vibrating the bath in the vertical direction in or…
