Semi-analytical model for the rising sheet generated by droplet-pair impact
Shushan Hu, Liwu Fan, Nan Hu
When two low-Ohnesorge-number drops impact a dry substrate simultaneously, their spreading lamellae collide and lift a free-standing vertical sheet. The sheet grows by inertial fee…

Close-contact melting on hydrophobic textured surfaces: Confinement and meniscus effects
Nan Hu, Liwu Fan, Xiang Gao +1
We investigate the dynamics of close-contact melting (CCM) on gas-trapped hydrophobic surfaces, with specific focus on the effects of geometrical confinement and the liquid-air men…
