To produce clean water from seawater desalination, superhydrophobic membranes are
essential for membrane distillation to minimize wetting. However, superhydrophobic …

A common feature of many free surface flows—drop/bubble breakup or coalescence and
film/sheet rupture—is the occurrence of hydrodynamic singularities. Accurately computing …

In many applications where small, similar-sized droplets are needed, ultrasonic nebulizers
are employed. Little is known about the mechanism of nebulization, for example about what …
