Controlled drop generation via ligament extraction from a static or vibrating liquid bath
Johnathan Hoggarth, Daniel M. Harris, John W. M. Bush +1
We introduce a simple method for generating droplets at the surface of a liquid bath by rapidly stretching a liquid ligament with a spring-loaded cylindrical probe. By varying the…
Non-resonant effects in pilot-wave hydrodynamics
Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Davis J. Evans, Joel B. Been +1
Pilot-wave hydrodynamics concerns the dynamics of 'walkers,' droplets walking on a vibrating bath, and has provided the basis for the burgeoning field of hydrodynamic quantum analo…
Diffraction of walking drops by a standing Faraday wave
Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Davis J. Evans, Valeri Frumkin +2
The Kapitza-Dirac effect is the diffraction of quantum particles by a standing wave of light. We here report an analogous phenomenon in pilot-wave hydrodynamics, wherein droplets w…
Waves beneath a drop levitating over a moving wall
Kyle I. McKee, Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Kotaro Hashimoto +2
In recent experiments, Sawaguchi et al. directly probed the lubrication layer of air beneath a droplet levitating inside a rotating cylindrical drum. For small rotation rates of th…
