Moving contact lines: scales, regimes, and dynamical transitions
JH Snoeijer, B Andreotti - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2013 - annualreviews.org
The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

How water advances on superhydrophobic surfaces
Superliquid repellency can be achieved by nano-and microstructuring surfaces in such a
way that protrusions entrap air underneath the liquid. It is still not known how the three …

Maximal air bubble entrainment at liquid-drop impact
W Bouwhuis, RCA van der Veen, T Tran, DL Keij… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
At impact of a liquid drop on a solid surface, an air bubble can be entrapped. Here, we show
that two competing effects minimize the (relative) size of this entrained air bubble: for large …

On the modelling of the transition between contact-line and microlayer evaporation regimes in nucleate boiling
Formation of a microlayer in nucleate boiling results in substantial changes to the heat-
transfer dynamics of the process, and establishing a criterion to distinguish between the …

Self-similar liquid lens coalescence
A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon contact to form a larger drop. In
spite of its importance to various applications, drop coalescence on prewetted substrates …

Does Maxwell's hypothesis of air saturation near the surface of evaporating liquid hold at all spatial scales?
ES Benilov - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The classical model of evaporation of liquids hinges on Maxwell's assumption that the air
near the liquid's surface is saturated. It allows one to find the evaporative flux without …
