Kelvin Helmholtz instability in an ultrathin air film causes drop splashing on smooth surfaces
Yuan Liu, Peng Tan, Lei Xu
When a fast-moving drop impacts onto a smooth substrate, splashing will be produced at the edge of the expanding liquid sheet. This ubiquitous phenomenon lacks a fundamental unders…

Eliminating cracking during drying
Qiu Jin, Peng Tan, Andrew B. Schofield +1
When colloidal suspensions dry, stresses build up and cracks often occur - a phenomenon undesirable for important industries such as paint and ceramics. We demonstrate an effective…

Compressible Air Entrapment in High-Speed Drop Impacts on Solid Surfaces
Yuan Liu, Peng Tan, Lei Xu
Using high-speed photography coupled with optical interference, we experimentally study the air entrapment during a liquid drop impacting a solid substrate. We observe the formatio…
