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
Precursors to Splashing of Liquid Droplets on a Solid Surface
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, neglecting intermolecular forces between the liquid and the solid, the liquid does not contact theSolid, and instead spreads on a very thin air film, which develops a high curvature and emits capillary waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skating on a film of air: drops impacting on a surface.
John Martin Kolinski,Shmuel M. Rubinstein,Shreyas Mandre,Michael Brenner,David A. Weitz,Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that the dynamics of impacting drops are much more complex than previously thought, with a rich array of unexpected phenomena that require rethinking classic paradigms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Events before droplet splashing on a solid surface
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors theoretically and numerically study the events within the time scale of about 1 μs over which the coupled dynamics between the gas and the droplet becomes important, and show that the solution is overtaken by initially subdominant physical effects such as the surface tension of the liquid-gas interface or viscous forces in the liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of a splash on a dry solid surface
Shreyas Mandre,Michael Brenner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a first-principles description of the mechanism for sheet formation, the initial stages of which occur before the droplet physically contacts the surface, and predict precisely when sheet formation occurs on a smooth surface as a function of experimental parameters, along with conditions on the roughness and other parameters for the validity of the predictions.
