The equilibrium shape of an axisymmetric sessile drop subject to local stresses
The exact equation describing the shape of a fluid drop under the action of local surface stresses induced by colloidal interactions is derived without resorting to any of the approximations inherent in the profile equation currently employed in the literature. The exact equation implies, and numerical examples confirm, that repulsive external (i.e., positive) surface energies assist in stabili...
متن کاملConstrained sessile drop as a new configuration to measure low surface tension in lung surfactant systems.
Existing methodology for surface tension measurements based on drop shapes suffers from the shortcoming that it is not capable to function at very low surface tension if the liquid dispersion is opaque, such as therapeutic lung surfactants at clinically relevant concentrations. The novel configuration proposed here removes the two big restrictions, i.e., the film leakage problem that is encount...
متن کاملPerturbation solution of the shape of a nonaxisymmetric sessile drop.
We develop an approximate analytical solution for the shape of a nonaxisymmetric sessile drop using regular perturbation methods and ignoring gravity. We assume that the pinned, contorted triple-line shape is known and is a small perturbation of the circular footprint of a spherical cap. We obtain an analytical solution using regular perturbation methods that we validate by comparing to the num...
متن کاملFootprint geometry and sessile drop resonance.
In this work, we examine experimentally the resonance of a sessile drop with a square footprint (square drop) on a flat plate. Two families of modal behaviors are reported. One family is identified with the modes of sessile drops with circular footprints (circular drop), denoted as "spherical modes." The other family is associated with Faraday waves on a square liquid bath (square Faraday waves...
متن کاملFour - phase merging in sessile compound drops
We consider the statics of compound droplets made of two immiscible fluids on a rigid substrate, in the limit when gravity is dominated by capillarity. In particular, we show that the merging of four phases along a single contact line is a persistent and robust phenomenon from a mechanical and thermodynamic perspective; it can and does occur for a range of interfacial energies and droplet volum...
