Hygroscopic hysteresis drives intermittent salt creeping

Javier Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Manikuntala Mukhopadhyay, Lijun Thayyil Raju +3

The paper shows that the intermittent, burst-like motion of salt crystals during evaporation (salt creeping) is caused by hysteresis between deliquescence and efflorescence, which…

Hysteresis in the freeze-thaw cycle of emulsions and suspensions

Wilfried Raffi, Jochem G. Meijer, Detlef Lohse

Freeze-thaw cycles can be regularly observed in nature in water and are essential in industry and science. Objects present in the medium will interact with either an advancing soli…

Holes in Sheets: Double-Threshold Rupture of Draining Liquid Films

Ayush K. Dixit, Chunheng Zhao, Stéphane Zaleski +2

Classical rupture is attributed to molecular (van der Waals) forces acting at nanometric thicknesses. Nonetheless, micron-thick liquid sheets routinely perforate far above the scal…

Impacting spheres: from liquid drops to elastic beads

Saumili Jana, John Kolinski, Detlef Lohse +1

A liquid drop impacting a non-wetting rigid substrate laterally spreads, then retracts, and finally jumps off again. An elastic solid, by contrast, undergoes a slight deformation,…

Stood-up drop to measure receding contact angles

Diego Díaz, Aman Bhargava, Franziska Walz +9

The wetting behavior of drops on natural and industrial surfaces is determined by the advancing and receding contact angles. They are commonly measured by the sessile drop techniqu…

Implementation of integral surface tension formulations in a volume of fluid framework and their applications to Marangoni flows

Mandeep Saini, Vatsal Sanjay, Youssef Saade +2

Accurate numerical modeling of surface tension has been a challenging aspect of multiphase flow simulations. The integral formulation for modeling surface tension forces is known t…
