The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

Materials irradiated with multiple femtosecond laser pulses in subablation conditions are
observed to develop various types of self-assembled morphologies that range from …

Solid surfaces with chemical patterning or topographical structure have attracted attention
due to many potential applications such as manufacture of flexible electronics, microfluidic …

Life creates some of its most robust, extreme surface materials not from solids but from
liquids: a purely liquid interface, stabilized by underlying nanotexture, makes carnivorous …

The significance of the magnitude of the Prandtl number of a fluid in the propagation
direction of induced convection rolls is elucidated. Specifically, we report on the physical …

In this work we demonstrate optical trapping and manipulation of microparticles suspended
in water due to laser-induced convection currents. Convection currents are generated due to …

The evaporative behavior of a water layer and the heat transfer under local heating were
investigated. Non-stationary and non-isothermal heat exchange conditions were created by …

Experimental studies of heat flux, Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient and entropy
generation under local laser heating in the range of water layer heights from 1.4 to 5 mm …

We develop a general methodology for the inclusion of a variable surface tension coefficient
into a Volume-of-Fluid based Navier–Stokes solver. This new numerical model provides a …

Thermocapillary flow, also termed as thermal Marangoni convection, is an important material
transport mechanism in many technical processes. Thus, it has to be considered in the …
