Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon. It is omnipresent in nature
and also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Despite its relevance, there is a …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We have studied the motion of liquid drops on an inclined plate subject to vertical vibrations.
The liquids comprised distilled water and different aqueous solutions of glycerol, ethanol …

When does a drop, deposited on a cold substrate, stop spreading? Despite the practical
relevance of this question, for example, in airplane icing and three-dimensional metal …

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 …

We present experimental results on high-Reynolds-number motion of partially non-wetting
liquid drops on inclined plane surfaces using:(i) water on fluoro-alkyl silane (FAS)-coated …
