Small Leidenfrost droplet dynamics
Benjamin Sobac, Alexey Rednikov, Pierre Colinet
An isolated Leidenfrost droplet levitating over its own vapor above a superheated flat substrate is considered theoretically, the superheating for water being up to several hundred…
Asymptotic theory for a Leidenfrost drop on a liquid pool
Michiel A. J. van Limbeek, Benjamin Sobac, Alexey Rednikov +2
Droplets can be levitated by their own vapour when placed onto a superheated plate (the Leidenfrost effect). It is less known that the Leidenfrost effect can likewise be observed o…
Leidenfrost drops on a heated liquid pool
Laurent Maquet, Benjamin Sobac, Baptiste Darbois-Texier +5
We show that a volatile liquid drop placed at the surface of a non-volatile liquid pool warmer than the boiling point of the drop can experience a Leidenfrost effect even for vanis…
Non-Equilibrium Gibbs' Criterion for Completely Wetting Volatile Liquids
Yannis Tsoumpas, Sam Dehaeck, Mariano Galvagno +4
During the spreading of a liquid over a solid substrate, the contact line can stay pinned at sharp edges until the contact angle exceeds a critical value. At (or sufficiently near)…
Universality of Tip Singularity Formation in Freezing Water Drops
Alvaro G. Marin, Oscar R. Enriquez, Philipe Brunet +2
A drop of water deposited on a cold plate freezes into an ice drop with a pointy tip. While this phenomenon clearly finds its origin in the expansion of water upon freezing, a quan…
Evaporation in motion
Hatim Machrafi, Alexey Rednikov, Pierre Colinet +1
This work presents fluid dynamics videos obtained via numerical (CFD) calculations using ComSol (finite elements method) software, showing the evaporation of HFE7100 (3M company re…
