Morphology of ice structures induced by a freezing rivulet

Hélie de Miramon, Wladimir Sarlin, Christophe Josserand +2

We investigate the solidification of a water rivulet flowing over a cold inclined substrate and the resulting formation of three-dimensional ice structures. Using a controlled hydr…

The macroscopic contact angle of water on ice

W. Sarlin, D. V. Papa, R. Grivet +4

Wettability quantifies the affinity of a liquid over a substrate, and determines whether the surface is repellent or not. When both the liquid and the solid phases are made of the…

Crystal growth at a liquid-liquid interface upon drop impact

Marion Berry, Christophe Josserand, Anniina Salonen +1

The crystallisation that occurs when a drop is placed in contact with a cold surface is a particularly challenging phenomenon to capture experimentally and describe theoretically.…

Free surface topography of capillary flows using spatiotemporal phase shifting profilometry

Hélie de Miramon, Wladimir Sarlin, Axel Huerre +3

We present a novel experimental technique to characterize the free surface of capillary flows adapted from the Spatio-Temporal Phase Shifting Profilometry (ST-PSP) method introduce…

Flat-cupped transition in freezing drop impacts

Marion Berry, Christophe Josserand, Anniina Salonen +1

We present an experimental study on the freezing of alkane drops impacted on a liquid bath. More specifically, for drops of hexadecane and tetradecane on brine, we found a morpholo…

Freezing receding contact lines

Rodolphe Grivet, Axel Huerre, Thomas Séon +2

We investigate experimentally the receding of a contact line when a Peltier module is pulled out of a water bath at constant speed, while a ice layer is also growing at constant sp…

Role of melting and solidification in the spreading of an impacting water drop

Wladimir Sarlin, Rodolphe Grivet, Julien Xu +3

The present study reports experiments of water droplet impacting on ice or on a cold metallic substrate, with the aim of understanding the effect of phase change on the impingement…

Inviscid coalescence of drops

L. Duchemin, J. Eggers, C. Josserand

We study the coalescence of two drops of an ideal fluid driven by surface tension. The velocity of approach is taken to be zero and the dynamical effect of the outer fluid (usually…
