Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing the contact time of a bouncing drop
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to reduce the contact time below this theoretical limit by using superhydrophobic surfaces with a morphology that redistributes the liquid mass and thereby alters the drop hydrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Time Dynamics of Partial Wetting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify that even in the presence of a contact line, the initial wetting is dominated by inertia rather than viscosity and propose a model, consistent with the experimental results, in which the surface spreading is regulated by the generation of capillary waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-coalescence of oppositely charged drops
William D. Ristenpart,James Bird,Andrew Belmonte,Franklin Dollar,Howard A. Stone,Howard A. Stone +5 more
TL;DR: Ristenpart et al. as discussed by the authors showed that oppositely charged drops moving towards each other in a strong electric field do not coalesce when the field strength exceeds a certain value but rather "bounce off one another".
Journal Article
Non-coalescence of oppositely charged drops
William D. Ristenpart,James Bird,Andrew Belmonte,Franklin Dollar,Howard A. Stone,Howard A. Stone +5 more
TL;DR: The observation of oppositely charged drops bouncing rather than coalescing in strong electric fields should affect the understanding of any process involving charged liquid drops, including de-emulsification, electrospray ionization and atmospheric conduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daughter bubble cascades produced by folding of ruptured thin films
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, both experimentally and numerically, that the curved film of the ruptured bubble can fold and entrap air as it retracts, leading to the creation of a ring of smaller bubbles.
