Liquid encapsulation in a freezing sessile drop

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
During the solidification of a sessile drop, the effect of heat exchange from the gaseous environmental medium is generally ignored. However, by combining experimental observations, direct numerical simulations, and a theoretical model, we have ...

Droplet interface in additive manufacturing: From process to application

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Additive manufacturing (AM), which is often referred to as three‐dimensional printing, revolutionizes manufacturing by providing a high degree of design freedom and customization.

Bionic surface diode for droplet steering

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Control of droplet sliding and its interfacial behavior such as sliding resistance and friction have important applications in microfluidic and energy‐related fields. Nature provides many examples of interface‐driven droplet sliding control; yet, to date,

RNA Droplets

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biophysics, 2020
Liquid–liquid phase separation is emerging as the universal mechanism by which membraneless cellular granules form. Despite many previous studies on condensation of intrinsically disordered proteins and low complexity domains, we lack understanding about the role of RNA, which is the essential component of all ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules. RNA, as

Physics of puffing and microexplosion of emulsion fuel droplets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The physics of water-in-oil emulsion droplet microexplosion/puffing has been investigated using high-fidelity interface-capturing simulation. Varying the dispersed-phase (water) sub-droplet size/location and the initiation location of explosive boiling ...

Condensation droplet sieve

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
AbstractLarge droplets emerging during dropwise condensation impair surface properties such as anti-fogging/frosting ability and heat transfer efficiency. How to spontaneously detach massive randomly distributed droplets with controlled sizes has remained a challenge.

Ratcheting droplet pairs [PDF]

open access: yesChaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2018
Millimetric droplets may be levitated on the surface of a vibrating fluid bath. Eddi et al. [Europhys. Lett. 82, 44001 (2008)] demonstrated that when a pair of levitating drops of unequal size are placed nearby, they interact through their common wavefield in such a way as to self-propel through a ratcheting mechanism.

A bouncing oil droplet in a stratified liquid and its sudden death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Droplets can self-propel when immersed in another liquid in which a concentration gradient is present. Here we report the experimental and numerical study of a self-propelling oil droplet in a vertically stratified ethanol/water mixture: At first, the ...

Phase-field modeling droplet dynamics with soluble surfactants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Using lattice Boltzmann approach, a phase-field model is proposed for simulating droplet motion with soluble surfactants. The model can recover the Langmuir and Frumkin adsorption isotherms in equilibrium.

Actin droplet machine [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
The actin droplet machine is a computer model of a three-dimensional network of actin bundles developed in a droplet of a physiological solution, which implements mappings of sets of binary strings. The actin bundle network is conductive to travelling excitations, i.e. impulses.
