Post-Tanner spreading of nematic droplets
S. Mechkov, A. -M. Cazabat, G. Oshanin
The quasistationary spreading of a circular liquid drop on a solid substrate typically obeys the so-called Tanner law, with the instantaneous base radius R(t) growing with time as…
Stability of liquid ridges on chemical micro- and nanostripes
S. Mechkov, M. Rauscher, S. Dietrich
We analyze the stability of sessile filaments (ridges) of nonvolatile liquids versus pearling in the case of externally driven flow along a chemical stripe within the framework of…
Generic behaviours in impact fragmentation
N. Sator, S. Mechkov, F. Sausset
We present a simple numerical model for investigating the general properties of fragmentation. By use of molecular dynamics simulations, we study the impact fragmentation of a soli…
Contact line stability of ridges and drops
S. Mechkov, G. Oshanin, M. Rauscher +3
Within the framework of a semi-microscopic interface displacement model we analyze the linear stability of sessile ridges and drops of a non-volatile liquid on a homogeneous, parti…
Granular gases in mechanical engineering: on the origin of heterogeneous ultrasonic shot peening
M. Micoulaut, S. Mechkov, D. Retraint +2
The behavior of an ultrasonic shot peening process is observed and analyzed by using a model of inelastic hard spheres in a gravitational field that are fluidized by a vibrating bo…
