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

A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

The im**ement of drops onto solid surfaces, plays a crucial role in a variety of processes,
including inkjet printing, fog harvesting, anti-icing, dropwise condensation and spray …

When a liquid droplet impacts a hot solid surface, enough vapor may be generated under it
to prevent its contact with the solid. The minimum solid temperature for this so-called …

Technologies including (3D-)(bio-) printing, diesel engines, laser-induced forward transfer,
and spray cleaning require optimization and therefore understanding of micrometer-sized …

Water droplet impact on surfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and industry, where
the time of contact between droplet and surface influences the transfer of mass, momentum …

Understanding the interaction of supercooled metastable water with superhydrophobic
surface textures is of fundamental significance for unraveling the mechanisms of icing as …

This comparative review highlights the relationships between the disciplines of bloodstain
pattern analysis (BPA) in forensics and that of fluid dynamics (FD) in the physical sciences …

At impact of a liquid drop on a solid surface, an air bubble can be entrapped. Here, we show
that two competing effects minimize the (relative) size of this entrained air bubble: for large …

Superhydrophobic surfaces for repelling impacting water droplets are typically created by
designing structures with capillary (antiwetting) pressures greater than those of the incoming …
