Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

We study experimentally the behaviour of a drop deposited on a conical fibre. It is shown
that for wetting liquids, such a drop spontaneously moves towards the region of lower …

The phenomena on the capillarity-driven migration of small objects are full of interest for
both scientific and engineering communities, and a critical review is thereby presented. The …

In the past three decades, considerable progress has been made in the mathematical
analysis, modelling, and simulation of the fluid dynamics of liquid capsules and biological …

Geoscience is a fundamental natural science discipline dealing with the origin, evolutionary
history and behaviour of the planet Earth. As a result of its complicated and complex nature …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

Surface coating is generally achieved by an active operation: painting with a brush;
withdrawing from a bath. Porous imbibition constitutes a more passive way: a porous …

An attempt is made to model slug flow inside square capillaries containing Newtonian
liquids. In square micro-channels, slug flows proved to promote high rates of heat and mass …

Surface tension-driven effects in wickless heat pipes with aqueous solutions of long-chain
alcohols are investigated. Flow visualizations and numerical simulation of bubbles …

Flow boiling in multi-microchannel evaporators is recognised as one of the most efficient
cooling solutions for high-performance electronics, and has therefore received increasing …
