Thickness of epithelia on wavy substrates: measurements and continuous models
Nicolas Harmand, Julien Dervaux, Christophe Poulard +1
We measured the thickness of MDCK epithelia grown on substrates with a sinusoidal profile. We show that while at long wavelength the profile of the epithelium follows that of the s…
Sliding of liquid droplets on thin viscoelastic soft layers
Menghua Zhao, Julien Dervaux, Tetsuharu Narita +3
Soft substrates are deformed by liquid-vapor surface tension upon contact with liquid droplets, forming the well-known wetting ridge. This ridge dynamically propagates with the mov…
Morphology and stability of droplets sliding on soft viscoelastic substrates
Mathieu Oléron, Laurent Limat, Julien Dervaux +1
We show that energy dissipation partition between a liquid and a solid controls the shape and stability of droplets sliding on viscoelastic gels. When both phases dissipate energy…
Evaporation of liquid coating a fiber
Marie Corpart, Julien Dervaux, Christophe Poulard +2
We investigate theoretically and numerically the diffusion-limited evaporation of a liquid deposited on a fiber in two configurations: a sleeve and a axisymmetric barrel-shaped dro…
A criterion for the pinning and depinning of an advancing contact line on a cold substrate
Rémy Herbaut, Julien Dervaux, Philippe Brunet +2
The influence of solidification on the spreading of liquids is addressed in the situation of an advancing liquid wedge on a cold substrate at , of infinite thermal condu…
Nonlinear force balance at moving contact lines
Matthieu Roché, Laurent Limat, Julien Dervaux
The spreading of a liquid over a solid material is a key process in a wide range of applications. While this phenomenon is well understood when the solid is undeformable, its "soft…
