Droplets move over viscoelastic substrates by surfing a ridge
S. Karpitschka, S. Das, M. van Gorcum +3
Liquid drops on soft solids generate strong deformations below the contact line, resulting from a balance of capillary and elastic forces. The movement of these drops may cause str…
Marangoni spreading due to a localized alcohol supply on a thin water film
José Federico Hernández-Sánchez, Antonin Eddi, J. H. Snoeijer
Bringing the interfaces of two miscible fluids into contact naturally generates strong gradients in surface tension. Here we investigate such a Marangoni-driven flow by continuousl…
Stokes flow near the contact line of an evaporating drop
Hanneke Gelderblom, Oscar Bloemen, Jacco H. Snoeijer
The evaporation of sessile drops in quiescent air is usually governed by vapour diffusion. For contact angles below , the evaporative flux from the droplet tends to diver…
Elastic deformation due to tangential capillary forces
Siddhartha Das, Antonin Marchand, Bruno Andreotti +1
A sessile liquid drop can deform the substrate on which it rests if the solid is sufficiently "soft". In this paper we compute the detailed spatial structure of the capillary force…
Relaxation of a dewetting contact line Part 2: Experiments
G. Delon, M. Fermigier, J. H. Snoeijer +1
The dynamics of receding contact lines is investigated experimentally through controlled perturbations of a meniscus in a dip coating experiment. We first characterize stationary m…
