Bendocapillary Instability of Liquid in a Flexible-Walled Channel
Alexander T. Bradley, Ian J. Hewitt, Dominic Vella
We study the bendocapillary instability of a liquid droplet that part fills a flexible walled channel. Inspired by experiments in which a `weaving' pattern emerges as droplets of l…
Droplet trapping in bendotaxis caused by contact angle hysteresis
Alexander T. Bradley, Ian J. Hewitt, Dominic Vella
Passive droplet transport mechanisms, in which continuous external energy input is not required for motion, have received significant attention in recent years. Experimental studie…
Asymptotic Analysis of Subglacial Plumes in Stratified Environments
Alexander T Bradley, C. Rosie Williams, Adrian Jenkins +1
Accurate predictions of basal melt rates on ice shelves are necessary for precise projections of the future behaviour of ice sheets. The computational expense associated with compl…
Wettability-independent droplet transport by \emph{Bendotaxis}
Alexander T. Bradley, Finn Box, Ian J. Hewitt +1
We demonstrate \textit{bendotaxis}, a novel mechanism for droplet self-transport at small scales. A combination of bending and capillarity in a thin channel causes a pressure gradi…
