Viscoelasticity Enhances Contactless Adhesion of Soft Substrates
Marco Rizzo, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Vincent Bertin +1
Understanding adhesion is essential for describing stability, friction, and interfacial dynamics. Here, we investigate the adhesion force dynamics between a rigid sphere and a soft…
Butter on a hot pan: self-regulating dynamics of melt-lubricated sliding
Edoardo Bellincioni, Simon Biermann, Jacco H. Snoeijer +2
When solids melt while sliding down heated inclines, their motion is governed by a complex coupling between heat transfer, phase change, gravity and viscous dissipation. Despite re…
Dynamics of Poro-viscoelastic Wetting with Large Swelling
B. X. Zheng, T. S. Chan, E. H. van Brummelen +1
The deposition of droplets onto a swollen polymer network induces the formation of a wetting ridge at the contact line. Current models typically consider either viscoelastic effect…
Viscoelastic lubrication of a submerged cylinder sliding down an incline
Alexandros T. Oratis, Kai van den Berg, Vincent Bertin +1
Lubrication flows between two solid surfaces can be found in a variety of biological and engineering settings. In many of these systems, the lubricant exhibits viscoelastic propert…
Sticking without contact: Elastohydrodynamic adhesion
Vincent Bertin, Alexandros T. Oratis, Jacco H. Snoeijer
The adhesion between dry solid surfaces is typically governed by contact forces, involving surface forces and elasticity. For surfaces immersed in a fluid, out-of-contact adhesion…
Soft Condensation
Ambre Bouillant, Christopher Henkel, Uwe Thiele +2
When moist air meets a cold surface, it creates a breath figure characterized by numerous small droplets. The central question is how the vapor flux is distributed between the grow…
