Liquid Hertz Contact: softness of weakly deformed drops on non-wetting substrates

Frédéric Chevy, Alexei Chepelianskii, David Quéré +1

The behavior of weakly deformed drops on non wetting surfaces is usually described using linear models. We show that these simple pictures cannot account for measurements of the dy…

Self-consistent theory of capillary-wave generation by small moving objects

A. D. Chepelianskii, M. Schindler, F. Chevy +1

We investigate theoretically the onset of capillary-gravity waves created by a small object moving at the water-air interface. It is well established that, for straight uniform mot…

On capillary-gravity waves generated by a slow moving object

Alexei Chepelianskii, Frédéric Chevy, Elie Raphael

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the capillary-gravity waves created by a small object moving steadily at the water-air interface along a circular trajectory. It is…

Water spring: a model for bouncing drops

K. Okumura, F. Chevy, C. Clanet +2

It has been shown that a water drop can bounce persistently, when thrown on a super-hydrophobic substrate. We present here scaling arguments which allow us to predict the maximal d…

Capillary-gravity waves: a "fixed-depth" analysis

F. Chevy, E. Raphael

We study the onset of the wave-resistance due to the generation of capillary-gravity waves by a partially immersed moving object in the case where the object is hold at a fixed imm…
