How does an air film evolve into a bubble during drop impact?
When a liquid drop impacts a solid surface, air is generally entrapped underneath. Using ultrafast x-ray phase-contrast imaging, we directly visualized the profile of an entrapped air film and its evolution into a bubble during drop impact. We identified a complicated evolution process that consists of three stages: inertial retraction of the air film, contraction of the top air surface into a ...
متن کاملHow microstructures affect air film dynamics prior to drop impact.
When a drop impacts a surface, a dimple can be formed due to the increased air pressure beneath the drop before it wets the surface. We employ a high-speed color interferometry technique to measure the evolution of the air layer profiles under millimeter-sized drops impacting hydrophobic micropatterned surfaces for impact velocities of typically 0.4 m s(-1). We account for the impact phenomena ...
متن کاملSingularity Behavior of the Mean Curvature Flow
It was proved that a blow-up solution to the mean curvature flow with positive mean curvature is an ancient convex solution, that is a convex solution which exists for time t from −∞. In this paper we study the geometry of ancient convex solutions. Our main results are contained in Theorems 1-3 below. Theorem 1 asserts that after normalization, the solution converges to a sphere or cylinder as ...
متن کاملCurvature in Abstract Boundary Singularity Theorems
The abstract boundary construction of Scott and Szekeres is a general and flexible way to define singularities in General Relativity. The abstract boundary construction also proves of great utility when applied to questions about more general boundary features of space-time. Within this construction an essential singularity is a non-regular boundary point which is accessible by a curve of inter...
متن کاملFlow under Curvature: Singularity Formation, Minimal Surfaces, and Geodesics
We study hypersurfaces moving under flow that depends on the mean curvature. The approach is based on a numerical technique that embeds the evolving hypersurface as the zero level set of a family of evolving surfaces. In this setting, the resulting partial differential equation for the motion of the level set function φ may be solved by using numerical techniques borrowed from hyperbolic conser...
