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…

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…

Freezing receding contact lines
Rodolphe Grivet, Axel Huerre, Thomas Séon +2
We investigate experimentally the receding of a contact line when a Peltier module is pulled out of a water bath at constant speed, while a ice layer is also growing at constant sp…
