The influence of contact line dynamics on drop deposition, repellency, and condensation.
… solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfacial dynamics have attracted attention in a variety of natural and industrial applications, including inkjet printing, water harvesting, and spray coating technologies. In a solid-liquid interface, when a droplet is placed on a solid substrate, the …

Evaporative Vapor Deposition for Depositing 2D Materials
… is laser patterned to control the droplet's contact line dynamics and the droplet's contact angle is maintained using a computer controlled syringe pump. A room temperature silicon wafer is translated through the vapor field of the evaporating GO droplet using a computer controlled …

Vibrating lubricant-infused porous surface for enhanced liquid droplet transport
… heat transfer. In recent studies of droplet dynamics on SLIPS, it was observed that a moving droplet on the lubricant film follows lubrication theory and the Landau-Levich law — there is a zone of capillary pressure-driven flow inside the lubricant wetting ridge around the droplet base when …

Impact, spreading, and drying of complex fluid drops
… inertial spreading, capillary-driven relaxation, contact-line motion, imbibition into porous substrates, evaporation, and, in complex fluids, compositional redistribution. This thesis investigates how these mechanisms collectively shape the observable footprint and how that footprint can be …

Finite-element simulations of interfacial flows with moving contact lines
… framework for interfacial flows with moving contact lines. In our method, the contact line is advected naturally by the flow field. Contact angle hysteresis can be easily implemented without explicit calculation of the contact angle or the contact line velocity, and meshindependent results …

Capillary forces and wetting dynamics by diffuse-interface modeling
… hydrates forming large clusters in subsea pipelines during crude oil transportation is a major concern. The dynamics of such systems is also of great interest from a fundamental perspective. Indeed describing non-equilibrium situations involving a 3-phase contact line is a long-standing problem …
