Approaching the theoretical limit of wicking on textured surfaces
Zhaoyang Lv, Chen Ma, Li-Chen Huang +1
Wicking in a capillary tube could happen as long as the liquid contact angle is smaller than 90 degrees, making it possible for weak hydrophilic liquids to spontaneously invade the…
Marangoni instabilities of cylindrical drops in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell immersed in stratified liquids
Li-Chen Huang, Yanshen Li
The Marangoni instability of cylindrical drops in vertical Hele-Shaw cells immersed in stably stratified liquids has been studied previously, yet the underlying mechanism has not b…
The interactions between two drops floating on a partially miscible liquid pool
Yuan Gao, Yanshen Li
The interaction of drops floating on liquid surfaces is important for many natural processes and industrial applications. In many of the cases, the system is multicomponent, leadin…
Influence of dissolved gas concentration on the lifetime of surface bubbles in volatile liquids
Xin Li, Yanshen Li
Bubbles at the air-liquid interface are important for many natural and industrial processes. Factors influencing the lifetime of such surface bubbles have been investigated extensi…
On the rising and sinking motion of bouncing oil drops in strongly stratified liquids
Jochem G. Meijer, Yanshen Li, Christian Diddens +1
When an immiscible oil drop is immersed in a stably stratified ethanol-water mixture, the Marangoni flow on the surface of the drop can experience an oscillatory instability, so th…
Marangoni instabilities of drops of different viscosities in stratified liquids
Yanshen Li, Jochem G. Meijer, Detlef Lohse
For an immiscible oil drop immersed in a stably stratified ethanol-water mixture, a downwards solutal Marangoni flow is generated on the surface of the drop, owing to the concentra…
Marangoni instability of a drop in a stably stratified liquid
Yanshen Li, Christian Diddens, Andrea Prosperetti +1
Marangoni instabilities can emerge when a liquid interface is subjected to a concentration or temperature gradient. It is generally believed that for these instabilities bulk effec…
Universality in microdroplet nucleation during solvent exchange in Hele-Shaw like channels
Yanshen Li, Kai Leong Chong, Hanieh Bazyar +2
Micro and nanodroplets have many important applications such as in drug delivery, liquid-liquid extraction, nanomaterial synthesis and cosmetics. A commonly used method to generate…
Entrapment and Dissolution of Microbubbles Inside Microwells
Xiaolai Li, Yuliang Wang, Binglin Zeng +5
The formation and evolution of immersed surface micro- and nanobubbles are essential in various practical applications, such as the usage of superhydrophobic rematerials, drug deli…
Convection-dominated dissolution for single and multiple immersed sessile droplets
Kai Leong Chong, Yanshen Li, Chong Shen Ng +2
We numerically investigate both single and multiple droplet dissolution with droplets consisting of lighter liquid dissolving in a denser host liquid. The significance of buoyancy…
A bouncing oil droplet in a stratified liquid and its sudden death
Yanshen Li, Christian Diddens, Andrea Prosperetti +3
Droplets can self-propel when immersed in another liquid in which a concentration gradient is present. Here we report the experimental and numerical study of a self-propelling oil…
Monostable Super Antiwettability
Li Yanshen, Lv Cunjing, Quere David +1
Super-antiwettability is an extreme situation of wetting where liquids stay at the tops of rough surfaces, in the so-called Cassie state1. Owing to the dramatic reduction of solid/…
Monostable Superantiwettability
Yanshen Li, Cunjing Lv, David Quéré +1
Superantiwettability, including superhydrophobicity, is an enhanced effect of surface ruggedness via the Cassie-Baxter wetting state, and has many applications such as antifouling,…
