Viscoplastic lines: printing a single filament of yield stress material on a surface

J van der Kolk, D Tieman, M Jalaal - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
This study presents the spreading of a single filament of a yield stress (viscoplastic) fluid
extruded onto a pre-wetted solid surface. The filaments spread laterally under surface …

Spreading of viscoplastic droplets

M Jalaal, B Stoeber, NJ Balmforth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
The spreading under surface tension and gravity of a droplet of yield-stress fluid over a thin
film of the same material is studied. The droplet converges to a final equilibrium shape once …

Viscoplastic sessile drop coalescence

VR Kern, T Sæter, A Carlson - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
The evolution of the liquid bridge formed between two coalescing sessile yield-stress drops
is studied experimentally. Surprisingly, we find that the height of the bridge evolves similar to …

An Ultra‐Smooth rGO Nano‐Thin Film from a Homogeneous Thin Liquid Film Confined by a Conical Fiber Array: Toward the Highly Sensitive Pressure Sensor

Z Tang, L Meng, M Zhang, Z Shi… - Advanced Functional …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) thin films have demonstrated various advantages in flexible

Analysis of side heavy edge reduction of battery electrode using high speed blade coating process

M Lee, W Jo, D Kim, S Lee, M Lee, KC Lee, J Kim… - Journal of Power …, 2024 - Elsevier
Superelevation of the side edge, also known as heavy edge, is a defect that negatively
affects Li-ion battery manufacturing and needs to be mitigated. In this study, we …

Axisymmetric evolution of gravity-driven thin films on a small sphere

J Qin, YT Xia, P Gao - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
We study the axisymmetric evolution of a liquid film on a solid sphere governed by gravity,
capillarity and viscous forces. The lubrication equations established in spherical coordinates …

[HTML][HTML] Spreading of droplets under various gravitational accelerations

O D'Angelo, F Kuthe, K van Nieuwland… - Review of Scientific …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We describe a setup to perform systematic studies on the spreading of droplets of complex
fluids under microgravity conditions. Tweaking the gravitational acceleration under which …

Bubble ring entrapment during a water drop impact on viscous oil films

L Luo, YS Tian, EQ Li - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Air entrapment during the drop impact on a liquid surface is crucial to the ocean–
atmosphere mass transfer process. Herein, we report a new mechanism of air entrapment …

Drawing liquid bridges from a thin viscous film

D Garcia-Gonzalez, MA Hack, M Kappl, HJ Butt… - Soft matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
When a particle, such as dust, contacts a thin liquid film covering a surface it is trapped by
the liquid. This effect is caused by the formation of a meniscus, resulting in a capillary force …

Surface force-mediated dynamics of droplets spreading over wetting films

N Kubochkin, T Gambaryan-Roisman - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Despite tremendous interest in the wetting dynamics at the microscale, attention to
nanodroplets has started rising only over the last two decades. In the current work, we …
