Diffusion-Dominated Pinch-Off of Ultralow Surface Tension Fluids
Jack Hau Yung Lo, Yuan Liu, Sze Yi Mak +5
We study the breakup of a liquid thread inside another liquid at different surface tensions. In general, the pinch-off of a liquid thread is governed by the dynamics of fluid flow.…
The role of drop shape in impact and splash
Qingzhe Liu, Jack Hau Yung Lo, Ye Li +3
The impact and splash of liquid drops on solid substrates are ubiquitous in many important fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on spherical drops while the non-sp…
Achieving adjustable elasticity with non-affine to affine transition
Xiangying Shen, Chenchao Fang, Zhipeng Jin +7
For various engineering and industrial applications it is desirable to realize mechanical systems with broadly adjustable elasticity to respond flexibly to the external environment…
Mechanism of Contact between a Droplet and an Atomically Smooth Substrate
Hau Yung Lo, Yuan Liu, Lei Xu
When a droplet gently lands on an atomically smooth substrate, it will most likely contact the underlying surface in about 0.1 s. However, theoretical estimation from fluid mechani…
Probing the role of mobility in the collective motion of non-equilibrium systems
Hongchuan Shen, Peng Tan, Lei Xu
By systematically varying the mobility of self-propelled particles in a two-dimensional (2D) lattice, we experimentally study the influence of particle mobility on system's collect…
Kelvin Helmholtz instability in an ultrathin air film causes drop splashing on smooth surfaces
Yuan Liu, Peng Tan, Lei Xu
When a fast-moving drop impacts onto a smooth substrate, splashing will be produced at the edge of the expanding liquid sheet. This ubiquitous phenomenon lacks a fundamental unders…
