Air Entrainment by Viscous Contact Lines
Antonin Marchand, Tak Shing Chan, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
The entrainment of air by advancing contact lines is studied by plunging a solid plate into a very viscous liquid. Above a threshold velocity, we observe the formation of an extend…
Elastocapillary instability under partial wetting conditions: bending versus buckling
Bruno Andreotti, Antonin Marchand, Siddhartha Das +1
The elastocapillary instability of a flexible plate plunged in a liquid bath is analysed theoretically. We show that the plate can bend due to two separate destabilizing mechanisms…
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…
