Non-wetting drop dynamics
Srinath Lakshman, Vatsal Sanjay, Pierre Chantelot +2
The impact of droplets on solids or weakly-deformable surfaces can lead to non-wetting outcomes, depending on the control parameters. Here, we perform experiments and develop a sim…

The Leidenfrost effect as a directed percolation phase transition
Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse
Volatile drops deposited on a hot solid can levitate on a cushion of their own vapor, without contacting the surface. We propose to understand the onset of this so-called Leidenfro…

Drop impact on superheated surfaces: short-time dynamics and transition to contact
Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse
When a volatile drop impacts on a superheated solid, air drainage and vapor generation conspire to create an intermediate gas layer that delays or even prevents contact between the…
