Thin-Film Modelling of Resting and Moving Active Droplets
Sarah Trinschek, Fenna Stegemerten, Karin John +1
We propose a generic model for thin films and shallow drops of a polar active liquid that have a free surface and are in contact with a solid substrate. The model couples evolution…

Equilibrium contact angle and adsorption layer properties with surfactants
Uwe Thiele, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Sarah Trinschek +1
The three-phase contact line of a droplet on a smooth surface can be characterized by the Young-Dupré equation. It relates the interfacial energies with the macroscopic contact ang…

Liquid transport generated by a flashing field-induced wettability ratchet
Karin John, Uwe Thiele
We develop and analyze a model for ratchet-driven macroscopic transport of a continuous phase. The transport relies on a field-induced dewetting-spreading cycle of a liquid film wi…
