Distributed evaporation of water-in-oil emulsion drops on solid surfaces

M Gopu, D Mampallil - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We experimentally demonstrate capillary clustering of microdroplets when a microfluidic
water-in-oil emulsion drop was placed on a solid substrate. Distributed evaporation rates …

The stability of a hydrodynamic bravais lattice

MMP Couchman, DJ Evans, JWM Bush - Symmetry, 2022 - mdpi.com
We present the results of a theoretical investigation of the stability and collective vibrations of
a two-dimensional hydrodynamic lattice comprised of millimetric droplets bouncing on the …

Compression and fracture of ordered and disordered droplet rafts

PE Illing, JC Ono-dit-Biot, K Dalnoki-Veress, ER Weeks - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We simulate a two-dimensional array of droplets being compressed between two walls. The
droplets are adhesive due to an attractive depletion force. As one wall moves toward the …

Short-and long-term avalanche dynamics in 1D-printed microfluidic crystals

RT Mallea, JP Navarrete, J Guzowski - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.14736, 2024 - arxiv.org
We report arrays of monodisperse water-in-oil microdroplets printed onto a substrate in a
form of a compact linear chain--a 1D-crystal--pinned at one end. The chain spontaneously …

Two-dimensional spreading of frictionless adhesive oil droplets

J Hoggarth, K Dalnoki-Veress - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
When sand flows out of a funnel onto a surface, a three dimensional pile that is stabilized by
friction grows taller as it spreads. Here we investigate an idealized two dimensional …

Spreading of a 2D granular analogue of a liquid puddle: predicting the structure and dynamics through a continuum model
