Effects of Asymmetric Cooling and Surface Wettability on the Orientation of the Freezing Tip
Anton Starostin, Vladimir Strelnikov, Leonid A. Dombrovsky +3
Freezing of water droplets placed on the bare and superhydrophobic surfaces of polymer wedges are studied both experimentally and computationally. Two-dimensional numerical calcula…
Thermophoretic Levitation of Solid Particles at Atmospheric Pressure
Pritam Kumar Roy, Irina Legchenkova, Leonid A. Dombrovsky +7
Separation and transportation of small particles are important processes in various applications such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. Although mechanical, chemical or el…
Spiral Thermal Waves Generated by Self-Propelled Camphor Boats
Alla Vilk, Irina Legchenkova, Mark Frenkel +1
Spiral thermal surface waves arising from self-propulsion of the camphor-driven objects are reported. Spiral thermal waves were registered for the dissolution and evaporation-guide…
Friction, Free Axes of Rotation and Entropy
Alexander Kazachkov, Victor Multanen, Viktor Danchuk +2
Friction forces acting on rotators may promote their alignment and therefore eliminate degrees of freedom in their movement. The alignment of rotators by friction force was demonst…
Paradoxical Coffee-Stain Effect Driven by the Marangoni Flow Observed on Oil-Infused Surfaces
Gilad Chaniel, Mark Frenkel, Victor Multanen +1
Formation of coffee stain deposits under evaporation of droplets containing aqueous solution of salts placed on silicone-oil impregnated substrates was observed. The formation of r…
Camphor-Engine-Driven Micro-Boat Guides Evolution of Chemical Gardens
Mark Frenkel, Victor Multanen, Roman Grynyov +3
A micro-boat self-propelled by a camphor engine, carrying seed crystals of FeCl3, promoted the evolution of chemical gardens when placed on the surface of aqueous solutions of pota…
