Inverted Cheerios effect: Liquid drops attract or repel by elasto-capillarity
S. Karpitschka, A. Pandey, L. A. Lubbers +5
Solid particles floating at a liquid interface exhibit a long-ranged attraction mediated by surface tension. In the absence of bulk elasticity, this is the dominant lateral interac…
Drops on soft solids: Free energy and double transition of contact angles
Luuk A. Lubbers, Joost H. Weijs, Lorenzo Botto +3
The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on thick incompressible substrates. The proble…
Dense Suspension Splat: Monolayer Spreading and Hole Formation After Impact
Luuk A. Lubbers, Qin Xu, Sam Wilken +2
We use experiments and minimal numerical models to investigate the rapidly expanding monolayer formed by the impact of a dense suspension drop against a smooth solid surface. The e…
Symmetric and Asymmetric Coalescence of Drops on a Substrate
J. F. Hernandez-Sanchez, L. A. Lubbers, A. Eddi +1
The coalescence of viscous drops on a substrate is studied experimentally and theoretically. We consider cases where the drops can have different contact angles, leading to a very…
