Relaxation and Intermediate Asymptotics of a Rectangular Trench in a Viscous Film
Oliver Bäumchen, Michael Benzaquen, Thomas Salez +5
The surface of a thin liquid film with nonconstant curvature flattens as a result of capillary forces. While this leveling is driven by local curvature gradients, the global bounda…
From adhesion to wetting of a soft particle
Thomas Salez, Michael Benzaquen, Elie Raphaël
Using a thermodynamical approach, we calculate the deformation of a spherical elastic particle placed on a rigid substrate, under zero external load, and including an ingredient of…
Kelvin wake pattern at large Froude numbers
Alexandre Darmon, Michael Benzaquen, Elie Raphaël
Gravity waves generated by an object moving at constant speed at the water surface form a specific pattern commonly known as the Kelvin wake. It was proved by Lord Kelvin that such…
