Oscillating and star-shaped drops levitated by an airflow.
We investigate the spontaneous oscillations of drops levitated above an air cushion, eventually inducing a breaking of axisymmetry and the appearance of "star drops". This is strongly reminiscent of the Leidenfrost stars that are observed for drops floating above a hot substrate. The key advantage of this work is that we inject the airflow at a constant rate below the drop, thus eliminating the...
متن کاملObservation of star-shaped surface gravity waves.
We report a new type of standing gravity wave of large amplitude, having alternatively the shape of a star and of a polygon. This wave is observed by means of a laboratory experiment by vertically vibrating a tank. The symmetry of the star (i.e., the number of branches) is independent of the container form and size, and can be changed according to the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. W...
متن کاملSliding of liquid drops down an inclined solid surface.
A liquid drop that partially wets a solid surface will slide down the plane when it is tilted beyond a critical inclination. Here we report the study of the sliding velocity of such a drop. Experiments for measuring the steady sliding velocity of different liquids of drops are performed. We then construct a scaling law that predicts the sliding velocity given the physical properties, wetting ch...
متن کاملEvaporation and Explosion of Liquid Drops on a Heated Surface
The literature pertinent to various aspects of drop evaporation on a heated surface is reviewed. Both the laser shadowgraphic and direct photographic methods are employed to study thermal stability and flow structures in evaporating drops in all heating regimes. It is revealed that four flow regions exist in stable and unstable type drops at low liquid-film type vaporization regime. As the surf...
متن کاملCoalescence of Liquid Drops
When two drops of radius R touch, surface tension drives an initially singular motion which joins them into a bigger drop with smaller surface area. This motion is always viscously dominated at early times. We focus on the early-time behavior of the radius rm of the small bridge between the two drops. The flow is driven by a highly curved meniscus of length 2πrm and width ∆ ≪ rm around the brid...
