Film thickness distribution in gravity-driven pancake-shaped droplets rising in a Hele-Shaw cell
Isha Shukla, Nicolas Kofman, Gioele Balestra +2
We study here experimentally, numerically and using a lubrication approach; the shape, velocity and lubrication film thickness distribution of a droplet rising in a vertical Hele-S…

Viscous Taylor droplets in axisymmetric and planar tubes: from Bretherton's theory to empirical models
Gioele Balestra, Lailai Zhu, François Gallaire
The aim of this study is to derive accurate models for quantities characterizing the dynamics of droplets of non-vanishing viscosity in capillaries. In particular, we propose model…

Rayleigh-Taylor instability under an inclined plane
P. -T Brun, Adam Damiano, Pierre Rieu +2
We revisit the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor instability and investigate the case of a thin film of fluid upon the underside of an inclined plane. The presence of a natural flow along…
