We review studies of levitating droplets over liquid–gas interfaces and dry solid surfaces
with a focus on the physical mechanisms of levitation under different conditions. A …

Self-organization of levitating microdroplets of condensate over a liquid–gas interface has
been observed in several recent experiments involving evaporation at high heat fluxes …

Levitating droplets of liquid condensate are known to organize themselves into ordered
arrays over hot liquid-gas interfaces. We report experimental observation of similar behavior …

When drinking a cup of coffee under the morning sunshine, you may notice white
membranes of steam floating on the surface of the hot water. They stay notably close to the …

A modified laboratory installation to generate levitating clusters of droplets above the locally
heated water surface is presented. The laser-heated sitall plate with an opaque graphite …

We report experimental studies and develop mathematical models of levitation of microscale
droplets over an evaporating liquid layer. The maximum size of droplets is estimated from …

We study the trajectories of levitating microscale droplets of water in the vicinity of a contact
line which is the boundary of a dry patch in a liquid layer on a heated horizontal substrate …

Experimental results on the coalescence of a dissipative structure" droplet cluster" obtained
by means of high-speed thermal imaging are presented. It is found out that coalescence of a …

A wide range of possible temperatures of levitating water droplets is interesting for the
upcoming laboratory studies of biochemical processes in the droplets. The previously …

Levitating droplets of liquid condensate are known to organize themselves into ordered
arrays over hot liquid-gas interfaces. The mechanism of levitation is the Stokes drag force …
