The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Several
countries have experienced repeated periods of major spreading over the last two years …

This paper reviews the past and recent studies on thermocapillarity in relation to
microfluidics. The role of thermocapillarity as the change of surface tension due to …

We experimentally investigate the evaporation dynamics of sessile droplets with different
compositions of ethanol-water binary mixture at different substrate temperatures. At room …

The Marangoni effect—often invoked to describe the so-called “tears of wine”—is in essence
the mass transfer along an interface between two fluids due to a gradient of the surface …

We experimentally investigate the evaporation of water–ethanol binary sessile droplets
loaded with alumina nanoparticles on a critically inclined heated surface and compare it to …

We study the thermocapillary-driven spreading of a droplet on a nonuniformly heated
substrate for fluids associated with a non-monotonic dependence of the surface tension on …

We report a study of the thermocapillary migration of droplets under a radial thermal gradient
and in a wettability-confined track. A three-dimensional mathematical model is established …

The evaporation of a binary sessile ethanol-water droplet on an inclined substrate is studied
experimentally just below the critical sliding angles for different substrate temperatures. A …

We experimentally characterize the sliding angle of water droplets (volume 3.1–22.2 μL)
migrating on inclined microgrooved surfaces along the longitudinal and transverse …

A liquid drop impacting on a solid substrate is simulated to evaluate the effect of
inhomogeneities in the wetting characteristics of the surface. A high density ratio multiphase …
