Impact of boiling liquid droplets: Vapor entrapment suppression
Bernardo Palacios-Muñiz, Edgar Ortega-Roano, Yee Li +3
There hardly is a fluid mechanics phenomenon attracting more attention than the impact of a droplet, due to its undeniable beauty, many applications and the numerous challenges it…
Higher-order meniscus oscillations driven by flow-focusing leading to bubble pinch off and entrainment in a piezo acoustic inkjet nozzle
Arjan Frates, Maaike Rump, Roger Jeurissen +8
The stability of high-end piezo-acoustic drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printing is sometimes compromised by the entrainment of an air bubble inside the ink channel. Here, bubble pinc…
Impact cratering in sand: Comparing solid and liquid intruders
Rianne de Jong, Song-Chuan Zhao, Diana Garcia-Gonzalez +2
How does the impact of a deformable droplet on a granular bed differ from that caused by a solid impactor of similar size and density? Here, we experimentally study this question a…
Growth of a bubble cloud in CO2-saturated water in microgravity
Patricia Vega-Martínez, Javier Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Devaraj van der Meer
The diffusion-driven growth of a dense cloud of bubbles immersed in a gas-supersaturated liquid is a problem that finds applications in several modern technologies such as solvent-…
Self-propulsion of inverse Leidenfrost drops on a cryogenic bath
Gauthier Anaïs, Diddens Christian, Proville Rémi +2
When deposited on a hot bath, volatile drops are observed to stay in levitation: the so-called Leidenfrost effect. Here, we discuss drop dynamics in an inverse Leidenfrost situatio…
Experiments and characterization of low-frequency oscillations in a granular column
Loreto Oyarte-Gálvez, Nicolás Rivas, Devaraj van der Meer
The behaviour of a vertically vibrated granular bed is reminiscent of a liquid in that it exhibits many phenomena such as convection and Faraday-like surface waves. However, when t…
