Viscoplastic sessile drop coalescence
Vanessa R. Kern, Torstein Sæter, Andreas Carlson
The evolution of the liquid bridge formed between two coalescing sessile yield-stress drops is studied experimentally. We find that the height of the bridge evolves similar to a vi…
Multiple droplets on a conical fiber: formation, motion, and droplet mergers
Carmen L. Lee, Tak Shing Chan, Andreas Carlson +1
Small droplets on slender conical fibers spontaneously move along the fiber due to capillary action. The droplet motion depends on the geometry of the cone, the surface wettability…
Film coating by directional droplet spreading on fibers
Tak Shing Chan, Carmen L. Lee, Christian Pedersen +2
Plants and insects use slender conical structures to transport and collect small droplets, which are propelled along the conical structures due to capillary action. These droplets…
Film deposition of a self-propelled droplet on a cone with slip
T. S. Chan, C. Pedersen, J. Koplik +1
We study the dynamic wetting of a self-propelled viscous droplet using the time-dependent lubrication equation on a conical-shaped substrate for different cone radii, cone angles a…
Curving to fly: Synthetic adaptation unveils optimal flight performance of whirling fruits
Jean Rabault, Richard A. Fauli, Andreas Carlson
Appendages of seeds, fruits and other diaspores (dispersal units) are essential for their wind dispersal, as they act as wings and enable them to fly. Whirling fruits generate an a…
Asymptotic regimes in elastohydrodynamic and stochastic leveling on a viscous film
Christian Pedersen, John Niven, Thomas Salez +2
An elastic sheet that deforms near a solid substrate in a viscous fluid is a situation relevant to various dynamical processes in biology, geophysics and engineering. Here, we stud…
