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,…
Falling through the cracks: energy storage along segmented brittle crack fronts
Xinyue Wei, John M. Kolinski
During brittle crack propagation, a smooth crack front curve frequently becomes disjoint, generating a stepped crack and a material ligament that unites the newly formed crack fron…
Drops can Perpetually Bounce over a Vibrating Wettable Solid
Lebo Molefe, Tomas Fullana, François Gallaire +1
On the surface of a vibrating liquid bath, instead of coalescing, a drop will continually bounce on a thin film of air between the drop and the free surface, giving rise to rich ch…
Marangoni-driven flow instability accelerates liquid-solid contact on atomically smooth mica
Octave Castanedo, John M. Kolinski
A droplet falling toward a solid surface displaces the surrounding air until it encounters a defect, and contact nucleates. On atomically smooth surfaces devoid of defects, contact…
