This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

Nanostructured materials have attracted much attention in recent decades. Nowadays, there
are numerous nanomaterials with several applications. The ultrasonic spray pyrolysis …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

Fragmentation phenomena are reviewed with a particular emphasis on processes that give
rise to drops—in the broad sense, the process of atomization. Various observations are …

This review presents recent technological advances in charge-coupled-device ultrahigh-
speed video cameras and their applications in experimental fluid mechanics. Following a …

We study the effects of vertical vibrations on non-wetting large water sessile drops flattened
by gravity. The solid substrate is characterized by a finite contact angle hysteresis (10-15 …

Surface acoustic wave atomization is a rapid means for generating micron and submicron
aerosol droplets. Little, however, is understood about the mechanisms by which these …

Electrowetting is a versatile tool for manipulating typically submillimetre-sized drops in
various microfluidic applications. In recent years the microscopic understanding of the …

We exploit large accelerations associated with surface acoustic waves to drive an
extraordinary fluid jetting phenomena. Laterally focusing the acoustic energy to a small …

Contraction of a filament of an incompressible Newtonian liquid in a passive ambient fluid is
studied computationally to provide insights into the dynamics of satellite drops created …
