Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

Research on liquid drop impact, especially during the past two decades, has been motivated
by a need for better predictive capability in many industries. This paper will review published …

Drop impact onto surfaces has long been a popular and important subject of experimental,
numerical and theoretical studies to explain phenomena observed both in nature and in …

Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …

From rain storms to ink jet printing, it is ubiquitous that a high-speed liquid droplet creates a
splash when it impacts on a dry solid surface. Yet, the fluid mechanical mechanism causing …

The splashing of a drop impacting onto a liquid pool produces a range of different sized
microdroplets. At high impact velocities, the most significant source of these droplets is a thin …

The impact of droplets on a deep pool has applications in cleaning up oil spills, spray
cooling, painting, inkjet printing, and forensic analysis, relying on the changes in properties …

A nanoscale, synthetic perturbation was all that was required to nudge a natural, self-
assembly process toward significantly higher order. Metallic thin film strips were transformed …

Unsteady fragmentation of a fluid bulk into droplets is important for epidemiology as it
governs the transport of pathogens from sneezes and coughs, or from contaminated crops in …

The impact of a single liquid drop on a flowing liquid film is experimentally and theoretically
studied. The drop impact produces a crownlike rising liquid sheet, which radially expands …
