The behaviour of droplets is complicated. 💧 Researchers at @oxengsci are exploring how to reduce splashing from droplets, as controlling that behaviour can have big consequences across many industries. Read more ⬇️ eng.ox.ac.uk/news/insight-in…

Understanding the mechanics of drop splashing is valuable for improving technology in many fields. Research by @FluidsTom & @alfonsoacp 'Droplet splashing on curved substrates’ has been published in the Journal of Colloid & Interface Science eng.ox.ac.uk/news/insight-in… @OxfordFluids

(How) does viscosity affect binary droplet collision outcomes? Find out in our new @JFluidMech paper (doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.674), led by @K_H_AlDirawi. Thanks to @EPSRC & @RoyalSociety | @OxEngSci @WadhamOxford @CDTFluidsLeeds.

We observe inertial behaviour for the coalescence (this GIF)/ stretching separation (GIF above) transition, with the latter outcome occurring only above a certain aspect ratio. Using this value as a criterion, we propose a simple but robust model to predict the transition.

Day 5! In March, researchers successfully captured the beautiful dynamic structures created when two droplets combine, using high speed cameras. @OxfordFluids @FluidsTom eng.ox.ac.uk/news/when-two-b…

New paper now #openaccess under CC-BY licence. Thanks for arranging @OpenResLeeds, funding @EPSRC.
Mark Wilson@markwilsonleeds8 Aug 2020
Our new paper in @ACS_Langmuir is now Open Access! See @FluidsTom's great experiments and modelling of how #wettability affects internal jet formation and #mixing in #droplets coalescing on surfaces at pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021… Thanks @CDTFluidsLeeds, @FluidsLeeds, @EPSRC
