Shear-thickening in presence of adhesive contact forces: the singularity of cornstarch

Anais Gauthier, Guillaume Ovarlez, Annie Colin

A number of dense particle suspensions experience a dramatic increase in viscosity with the shear stress, up to a solid-like response. This shear-thickening process is understood a…

Air-cushioning effect and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability before the slamming of a disk on water

Utkarsh Jain, Anais Gauthier, Detlef Lohse +1

The macroscopic dynamics of a droplet impacting a solid is crucially determined by the intricate air dynamics occurring at the vanishingly small length scale between droplet and su…

A new pressure sensor array for local normal stress measurement in complex fluids

Gauthier Anaïs, Pruvost Mickaël, Gamache Olivier +1

A new pressure sensor array, positioned on the bottom plate of a standard torsional rheometer is presented. It is built from a unique piezo-capacitive polymeric foam, and consists…

Total-internal-reflection deflectometry for measuring small deflections of a fluid surface

Utkarsh Jain, Anaïs Gauthier, Devaraj van der Meer

We describe a method that uses total internal reflection at the water-air interface inside a large, transparent tank, to measure the interface's deflections. Using this configurati…

Inverse Leidenfrost drop manipulation using menisci

Anaïs Gauthier, Guillaume Lajoinie, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1

Drops deposited on an evaporating liquid bath can be maintained in an inverse Leidenfrost state by the vapor emanating from the bath, making them levitate and hover almost without…

Self-propulsion of inverse Leidenfrost drops on a cryogenic bath

Gauthier Anaïs, Diddens Christian, Proville Rémi +2

When deposited on a hot bath, volatile drops are observed to stay in levitation: the so-called Leidenfrost effect. Here, we discuss drop dynamics in an inverse Leidenfrost situatio…
