How a raindrop gets shattered on biological surfaces
Many biological surfaces of animals and plants (eg, bird feathers, insect wings, plant leaves,
etc.) are superhydrophobic with rough surfaces at different length scales. Previous studies …

Evolution of a quasi-two-dimensional shear layer in a soap film flow
A Korlimarla, P Vorobieff - Physics of Fluids, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
A quasi-two-dimensional shear layer is produced by merging two gravity-driven flows of
soap film at different average velocities. The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability dominates the …
