Prediction of Self-Assembled Dewetted Nanostructures for Photonics Applications via a Continuum Mechanics Framework
Louis Martin-Monier, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Pierre-Luc Piveteau +2
When a liquid film lies on a non-wettable substrate, the configuration is unstable and the film then retracts from a solid substrate to form droplets. This phenomenon, known as dew…

Too fast to grow: Dynamics of pendant drops sliding on a thin film
Etienne Jambon-Puillet, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, François Gallaire +1
Pendant drops suspended on the underside of a wet substrate are known to accumulate fluid from the surrounding thin liquid film, a process that often results in dripping. The growt…

Suppression of von Kármán vortex streets past porous rectangular cylinders
Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Lorenzo Siconolfi, Francesco Viola +2
Although the stability properties of the wake past impervious bluff bodies have been widely examined in the literature, similar analyses regarding the flow around and through porou…
