The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

Wetting of permeable substrates by liquids is an important phenomenon in many natural and
industrial processes. Substrate heterogeneities may significantly alter liquid spreading and …

In this article we numerically investigate the onset of motion of liquid drops in contact with a
plane and homogeneous substrate with contact angle hysteresis. The drops are driven by a …

Contact angle hysteresis is an important phenomenon that occurs both in natural and
industrial droplet spreading/sliding applications. As they slide, droplets adopt a different …

Minimal Fab System Photolithography has been developed for wafer patterning process
without the requirement of a cleanroom. It consists of minimal resist coater, minimal …

Modifying condensing surfaces can effectively improve the vapor condensation of solar stills,
while the modification impact on the condensate collection remains unclear. Here, a …

We present theoretical and experimental results for a drop of viscous liquid running down an
inclined plane at speed U⁠. For U> U cr the rear of the drop forms a corner whose opening …

We study fully three-dimensional droplets that slide down an incline by employing a thin-film
equation that accounts for capillarity, wettability, and a lateral driving force in small-gradient …
