Bidirectional Motion of Droplets on Gradient Liquid Infused Surfaces
Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Gaby Launay, Jayne Parle +5
We demonstrate spontaneous bidirectional motion of droplets on liquid infused surfaces in the presence of a topographical gradient, in which the droplets can move either toward the…
Self-Propelled Droplet Transport on Shaped-Liquid Surfaces
Gaby Launay, Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah, Glen McHale +3
The transport of small quantities of liquid on a solid surface is inhibited by the resistance to motion caused by the contact between the liquid and the solid. To overcome such res…
An experimental investigation of the laminar horseshoe vortex around an emerging obstacle
Gaby Launay, E. Mignot, N. Riviere +1
An emerging long obstacle placed in a boundary layer developing under a free-surface generates a complex horseshoe vortex (HSV) system, which is composed of a set of vortices exhib…
Transition to chaos in an acoustically-driven cavity flow
Gaby Launay, Tristan Cambonie, Daniel Henry +2
We consider the unsteady regimes of an acoustically-driven jet that forces a recirculating flow through successive reflections on the walls of a square cavity. The specific questio…
