Morphology of ice structures induced by a freezing rivulet
Hélie de Miramon, Wladimir Sarlin, Christophe Josserand +2
We investigate the solidification of a water rivulet flowing over a cold inclined substrate and the resulting formation of three-dimensional ice structures. Using a controlled hydr…
The macroscopic contact angle of water on ice
W. Sarlin, D. V. Papa, R. Grivet +4
Wettability quantifies the affinity of a liquid over a substrate, and determines whether the surface is repellent or not. When both the liquid and the solid phases are made of the…
Free surface topography of capillary flows using spatiotemporal phase shifting profilometry
Hélie de Miramon, Wladimir Sarlin, Axel Huerre +3
We present a novel experimental technique to characterize the free surface of capillary flows adapted from the Spatio-Temporal Phase Shifting Profilometry (ST-PSP) method introduce…
Nascent water waves induced by the impulsive motion of a solid wall
Wladimir Sarlin, Zhaodong Niu, Alban Sauret +2
In the present study, we investigated the generation phase of laboratory-scale water waves induced by the impulsive motion of a rigid piston, whose maximum velocity and total s…
Role of melting and solidification in the spreading of an impacting water drop
Wladimir Sarlin, Rodolphe Grivet, Julien Xu +3
The present study reports experiments of water droplet impacting on ice or on a cold metallic substrate, with the aim of understanding the effect of phase change on the impingement…
