Discrete inflow and drainage dynamics of a thin film over a stalagmite of variable shape

Justine Parmentier, Vincent E. Terrapon, Tristan Gilet

Stalagmites in karstic caves preserve valuable palaeoclimate records through calcium-rich layered deposits, presenting curvature variations both across and within individual stalag…

Faraday instability and subthreshold Faraday waves: surface waves emitted by walkers

Loic Tadrist, Jeong-Bo Shim, Tristan Gilet +1

A walker is a fluid entity comprising a bouncing droplet coupled to the waves that it generates at the surface of a vibrated bath. Thanks to this coupling, walkers exhibit a series…

Resonant and rolling droplet

S. Dorbolo, D. Terwagne, N. Vandewalle +1

When an oil droplet is placed on a quiescent oil bath, it eventually collapses into the bath due to gravity. The resulting coalescence may be eliminated when the bath is vertically…

How long will a bubble be ?

T. Gilet, T. Scheller, E. Reyssat +2

A soap bubble is a metastable object that eventually breaks. Indeed, the soapy water film thins until rupture, due to drainage and evaporation. In our experimental investigations,…

Controlling the partial coalescence of a droplet on a vertically vibrated bath

T. Gilet, N. Vandewalle, S. Dorbolo

A new method is proposed to stop the cascade of partial coalescences of a droplet laid on a liquid bath. The strategy consists in vibrating the bath in the vertical direction in or…

Critical parameters for the partial coalescence of a droplet

T. Gilet, K. Mulleners, J. P. Lecomte +2

The partial coalescence of a droplet onto a planar liquid/liquid interface is investigated experimentally by tuning the viscosities of both liquids. The problem mainly depends on f…
