Stop-and-go locomotion of superwalking droplets

Rahil N. Valani, Anja C. Slim, Tapio P. Simula

Vertically vibrating a liquid bath at two frequencies, and , having a relative phase difference can give rise to self-propelled superwalking droplets on the liquid…

Emergence of superwalking droplets

Rahil Valani, Jack Dring, Tapio Simula +1

A new class of self-propelled droplets, coined superwalkers, has been shown to emerge when a bath of silicone oil is vibrated simultaneously at a given frequency and its subharmoni…

Superwalking droplets

Rahil N. Valani, Anja C. Slim, Tapio Simula

A \textit{walker} is a droplet of liquid that self-propels on the free surface of an oscillating bath of the same liquid through feedback between the droplet and its wave field. We…

Pilot-wave dynamics of two identical, in-phase bouncing droplet

Rahil N. Valani, Anja C. Slim

A droplet bouncing on the surface of a vibrating liquid bath can move horizontally guided by the wave it produces on impacting the bath. The wave itself is modified by the environm…

Hong-Ou-Mandel-like two-droplet correlations

Rahil N. Valani, Anja C. Slim, Tapio Simula

We present a numerical study of two-droplet pair correlations for in-phase droplets walking on a vibrating bath. Two such walkers are launched towards a common origin. As they appr…

Buckling instability of a thin-layer rectilinear Couette flow

Anja Slim, Jeremy Teichman, L. Mahadevan

We analyse the buckling stability of a thin, viscous sheet when subject to simple shear, providing conditions for the onset of the dominant out-of-plane modes using two models: (i)…
