Fast droplet impact onto slowly moving deep pools
Thomas C. Sykes, Luke F. L. Alventosa, J. Rafael Castrejon-Pita +3
When a fast droplet impacts a pool, the resulting ejecta sheet dynamics determine the final impact outcome. At low Capillary numbers, the ejecta sheet remains separate from a deep…
Bouncing to coalescence transition for droplet impact onto moving liquid pools
Daniel M. Harris, Luke F. L. Alventosa, Oliver Sand +5
A droplet impacting a deep fluid bath is as common as rain over the ocean. If the impact is sufficiently gentle, the mediating air layer remains intact, and the droplet may rebound…
Electrophoretic Molecular Communication with Time-Varying Electric Fields
Sunghwan Cho, Thomas C. Sykes, Justin P. Coon +1
This article investigates a novel electrophoretic molecular communication mechanism that utilizes a time-varying electric field, which induces time-varying molecule velocities and…
Surface jets and internal mixing during the coalescence of impacting and sessile droplets
Thomas C. Sykes, Alfonso A. Castrejón-Pita, J. Rafael Castrejón-Pita +4
The internal dynamics during the coalescence of a sessile droplet and a subsequently deposited impacting droplet, with either identical or distinct surface tension, is studied expe…
