Flow and drop transport along liquid-infused surfaces
Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …

Emulsions in porous media: From single droplet behavior to applications for oil recovery
Emulsions are suspensions of droplets ubiquitous in oil recovery from underground
reservoirs. Oil is typically trapped in geological porous media where emulsions are either …

Universality of friction laws on liquid-infused materials
Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) make drops remarkably mobile. However, the dynamics of
those drops proved to be subtle, due to the numerous phases at stake (lubricating liquid …

Critical parameters of the Jamin effect in a capillary tube with a contracted cross section
The Jamin effect acting as a flow resistance induced by bubbles or droplets, plays a critical
role in the recovery of oils by water flooding, which is caused by the hysteresis of contact …

Amoeboid swimming is propelled by molecular paddling in lymphocytes
Mammalian cells developed two main migration modes. The slow mesenchymatous mode,
like crawling of fibroblasts, relies on maturation of adhesion complexes and actin fiber …

Measurements and simulation of liquid films during drainage displacements and snap-off in constricted capillary tubes
When a wetting liquid is displaced by air in a capillary tube, a wetting film develops between
the tube wall and the air that is responsible for the snap-off mechanism of the gas phase. By …

Thin films in partial wetting: stability, dewetting and coarsening
A uniform nanometric thin liquid film on a solid substrate can become unstable due to the
action of van der Waals (vdW) forces. The instability leads to dewetting of the uniform film …
