How ice grows from premelting films and water droplets

DN Sibley, P Llombart, EG Noya, AJ Archer… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Close to the triple point, the surface of ice is covered by a thin liquid layer (so-called quasi-
liquid layer) which crucially impacts growth and melting rates. Experimental probes cannot …

the line formed at the junction of two fluid phases and a solid—has been a longstanding …

Probing dissipation in spreading drops with granular suspensions

A Pelosse, É Guazzelli, M Roché - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we study the spreading of droplets of density-matched granular suspensions
on the surface of a solid. Bidispersity of the particle size distribution enriches the conclusions …

An experimental study of flow near an advancing contact line: a rigorous test of theoretical models

C Gupta, A Choudhury, LD Chandrala… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
The flow near a moving contact line depends on the dynamic contact angle, viscosity ratio
and capillary number. We report experiments involving immersing a plate into a liquid bath …

A thermodynamically consistent model and its conservative numerical approximation for moving contact lines with soluble surfactants
