Adjoint-based optimization of the Rayleigh-Bénard instability with melting boundary
Tomas Fullana, Alejandro Quirós RodrÃguez, Vincent Le Chenadec +1
In this work, we propose an adjoint-based optimization procedure to control the onset of the Rayleigh-Bénard instability with a melting front. A novel cut cell method is used to s…

Drops can Perpetually Bounce over a Vibrating Wettable Solid
Lebo Molefe, Tomas Fullana, François Gallaire +1
On the surface of a vibrating liquid bath, instead of coalescing, a drop will continually bounce on a thin film of air between the drop and the free surface, giving rise to rich ch…
