Evaporation-driven liquid flow in sessile droplets
Hanneke Gelderblom, Christian Diddens, Alvaro Marin
The evaporation of a sessile droplet spontaneously induces an internal capillary liquid flow. The surface-tension driven minimisation of surface area and/or surface-tension differe…
Initial solidification dynamics of spreading droplets
Robin B. J. Koldeweij, Pallav Kant, Kirsten Harth +5
When a droplet is brought in contact with an undercooled surface, it wets the substrate and solidifies at the same time. The interplay between the phase transition effects and the…
Drop fragmentation by laser-pulse impact
Alexander L. Klein, Dmitry Kurilovich, Henri Lhuissier +4
We study the fragmentation of a liquid drop that is hit by a laser pulse. The drop expands into a thin sheet that breaks by the radial expulsion of ligaments from its rim and the n…
Solidification of liquid metal drops during impact
Marise V. Gielen, Riëlle de Ruiter, Robin B. J. Koldeweij +3
Hot liquid metal drops impacting onto a cold substrate solidify during their subsequent spreading. Here we experimentally study the influence of solidification on the outcome of an…
Oblique droplet impact onto a deep liquid pool
Sten A. Reijers, Bo Liu, Detlef Lohse +1
The oblique impact of a liquid droplet onto a deep liquid pool is studied numerically with the adaptive volume-of-fluid solver Basilisk. The splashing threshold, cavity formation,…
Expansion Dynamics After Laser-Induced Cavitation in Liquid Tin Microdroplets
Dmitry Kurilovich, Tiago de Faria Pinto, Francesco Torretti +9
The cavitation-driven expansion dynamics of liquid tin microdroplets is investigated, set in motion by the ablative impact of a 15-ps laser pulse. We combine high-resolution strobo…
