Dynamic hysteresis of an oscillatory contact line

Jiaxing Shen, Yaerim Lee, Yuanzhe Li +3

During oscillatory wetting, a phase retardation emerges between contact angle variation and contact line velocity, presenting as a hysteresis loop in their correlation -- an effect…

Direct numerical simulations of microlayer formation during heterogeneous bubble nucleation

Mandeep Saini, Xiang Bin Chen, Stephane Zaleski +1

In this article, we present direct numerical simulation results for the expansion of spherical cap bubbles attached to a rigid wall due to a sudden drop in the ambient pressure. Th…

On the dynamics of a collapsing bubble in contact with a rigid wall

M Saini, E Tanne, M Arrigoni +2

This work reveals that the dynamic response of a spherical cap bubble in contact with a rigid wall depends on the effective contact angle at the instant prior to collapse. This par…

General wetting energy boundary condition in a fully explicit non-ideal fluids solver

Chunheng Zhao, Alexandre Limare, Stephane Zaleski

We present an explicit finite difference method to simulate the non-ideal multi-phase fluid flow. The local density and the momentum transport are modeled by the Navier-Stokes (N-S…

Characterizing Interface Topology in Multiphase Flows using Skeletons

Xianyang Chen, Jiacai Lu, Stéphane Zaleski +1

The unsteady motion of a gas-liquid interface, such as during splashing or atomization, often results in complex liquid structures embedded in the ambient fluid. Here we explore th…

An Edge-Based Interface-Tracking Method for Multiphase Flows

Leonardo Chirco, Stephane Zaleski

We propose a novel class of Edge-Based Interface-Tracking (EBIT) methods in the field of multiphase flows for advecting the interface. The position of the interface is tracked by m…

Nanoscale sheared droplet: Volume-of-Fluid, phase-field and no-slip molecular dynamics

Uǧis Lācis, Michele Pellegrino, Johan Sundin +4

The motion of the three-phase contact line between two immiscible fluids and a solid surface arises in a variety of wetting phenomena and technological applications. One challenge…

Statistics of drops generated from ensembles of randomly corrugated ligaments

Sagar Pal, Cesar Pairetti, Marco Crialesi-Esposito +2

The size of drops generated by the capillary-driven disintegration of liquid ligaments plays a fundamental role in several important natural phenomena, ranging from heat and mass t…

Roughness on liquid-infused surfaces induced by capillary waves

Johan Sundin, Stéphane Zaleski, Shervin Bagheri

Liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) are a promising technique for reducing friction, fouling and icing in both laminar and turbulent flows. Previous work has demonstrated that these surf…

Steady moving contact line of water over a no-slip substrate

Uǧis Lācis, Petter Johansson, Tomas Fullana +4

The movement of the triple contact line plays a crucial role in many applications such as ink-jet printing, liquid coating and drainage (imbibition) in porous media. To design accu…

Density contrast matters for drop fragmentation thresholds at low Ohnesorge number

Florence Marcotte, Stéphane Zaleski

We address numerically the deformation and fragmentation dynamics of a single liquid drop subject to impulsive acceleration by a unidirectional gas stream. The density ratio betwee…
