Effective flows across diffusio-phoretic membranes
Kevin Wittkowski, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Edoardo Carlo Giordano +2
Flows enabled by phoretic mechanisms are of significant interest in several biological and biomedical processes, such as bacterial motion and targeted drug delivery. Here, we devel…
Drops can Perpetually Bounce over a Vibrating Wettable Solid
Lebo Molefe, Tomas Fullana, François Gallaire +1
On the surface of a vibrating liquid bath, instead of coalescing, a drop will continually bounce on a thin film of air between the drop and the free surface, giving rise to rich ch…
Nonmodal amplitude equations
Yves-Marie Ducimetière, François Gallaire
We consider fluid flows for which the linearized Navier-Stokes operator is strongly non-normal. The responses of such flows to external perturbations are spanned by a generically v…
On the liquid film instability of an internally coated horizontal tube
Shahab Eghbali, Yves-Marie Ducimetiere, Edouard Boujo +1
We study numerically and theoretically the gravity-driven flow of a viscous liquid film coating the inner side of a horizontal cylindrical tube and surrounding a shear-free dynamic…
Prediction of Self-Assembled Dewetted Nanostructures for Photonics Applications via a Continuum Mechanics Framework
Louis Martin-Monier, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Pierre-Luc Piveteau +2
When a liquid film lies on a non-wettable substrate, the configuration is unstable and the film then retracts from a solid substrate to form droplets. This phenomenon, known as dew…
Too fast to grow: Dynamics of pendant drops sliding on a thin film
Etienne Jambon-Puillet, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, François Gallaire +1
Pendant drops suspended on the underside of a wet substrate are known to accumulate fluid from the surrounding thin liquid film, a process that often results in dripping. The growt…
