Dimple drainage before the coalescence of a droplet deposited on a smooth substrate
Laurent Duchemin, Christophe Josserand
Thin liquid or gas films are everywhere in nature, from foams to submillimetric bubbles at a free surface, and their rupture leaves a collection of small drops and bubbles. However…
Bistability in Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a melting boundary
Jhaswantsing Purseed, Benjamin Favier, Laurent Duchemin +1
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these t…
Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a melting boundary
Benjamin Favier, Jhaswantsing Purseed, Laurent Duchemin
We study the evolution of a melting front between the solid and liquid phases of a pure incompressible material where fluid motions are driven by unstable temperature gradients. In…
Impact on floating membranes
Nicolas Vandenberghe, Laurent Duchemin
When impacted by a rigid object, a thin elastic membrane with negligible bending rigidity floating on a liquid pool deforms. Two axisymmetric waves radiating from the impact point…
Self-similar impulsive capillary waves on a ligament
Laurent Duchemin, Stéphane Le Dizès, Lionel Vincent +1
We study the short-time dynamics of a liquid ligament, held between two solid cylinders, when one is impulsively accelerated along its axis. A set of one-dimensional equations in t…
Asymptotic behaviour of the Rayleigh--Taylor instability
Laurent Duchemin, Christophe Josserand, Paul Clavin
We investigate long time numerical simulations of the inviscid Rayleigh-Taylor instability at Atwood number one using a boundary integral method. We are able to attain the asymptot…
