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…
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)…
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…
Moving contact lines in a pure-vapor atmosphere: a singularity-free description in the sole framework of classical physics
Alexey Rednikov, Pierre Colinet
We here show that, even in the absence of "regularizing" microscopic effects (viz. slip at the wall or the disjoining pressure/precursor films), no singularities in fact arise for…
