Abstract:
Impinging Janus drops can be stably produced by adding a high-viscosity drop to a low-viscosity drop. Here, we investigate the dynamic features of bouncing Janus drops on a solid substrate for an exploration of the effects of the viscosity ratio, initial drop shape, and impact velocity on altering the hydrodynamics. Numerical results show that the low-viscosity component evolves into liquid alignment along the principal direction with the help of a preferential flow, thereby resulting in the partial detachment from the mother Janus drops. We establish a regime map of the separation ratio of the drop and discuss how the parameters affect the asymmetry in the bounce and separation behavior. The low-viscosity components can be more likely to be detached from Janus drops as the viscosity ratio, drop's ellipticity, and/or impact velocity increase. This phenomenon is explained by the residence time and breakup of symmetry in the horizontal momentum between the low- and high-viscosity components. The peculiar dynamic characteristics of the Janus drop can provide potential for various applications, such as liquid purification and separation.

Abstract:
Evaporation of a liquid drop surrounded by either vapor of the same fluid, or vapor and air, is usually attributed to vapor diffusion, which, however, does not apply to the former setting, as pure fluids do not diffuse. The present paper puts forward an additional mechanism, one that applies to both settings. It is shown that disparities between the drop and vapor in terms of their pressure and chemical potential give rise to a flow. Its direction depends on the vapor density and the drop's size. In undersaturated or saturated vapor, all drops evaporate, but in oversaturated (yet thermodynamically stable) vapor, there exists a critical radius: smaller drops evaporate, whereas larger drops act as centers of condensation and grow. The developed model is used to estimate the evaporation time of a drop floating in saturated vapor. It is shown that, if the vapor-to-liquid density ratio is small, so is the evaporative flux; as a result, millimeter-sized water drops at temperatures lower than [Formula: see text] survive for days. If, however, the temperature is comparable (but not necessarily close) to its critical value, such drops evaporate within minutes. Micron-sized drops, in turn, evaporate within seconds for all temperatures between the triple and critical points.

Abstract:
Knowing the meniscus shape of confined drops is important for understanding how they make first contact and then coalesce. When imaged from the top view by brightfield microscopy, a liquid drop (e.g., corn syrup) confined in a Hele-Shaw cell, surrounded by immiscible liquid (e.g., mineral oil), had a dark annulus, and the width of the annulus decreased with increasing concentration of corn syrup. Since the difference in the annulus width was presumed to be related to the meniscus shape of the drops, three-dimensional images of the drops with different concentrations were obtained using confocal fluorescence microscopy, and their cross-sectional meniscus profile was determined by image processing. The meniscus of the drops remained circular despite varying concentration. Since the refractive index of corn syrup increased with concentration, while the surface tension coefficient between corn syrup and mineral oil remained unchanged, the observed change in the annulus width was then attributed to the refraction of light passing through the drop’s meniscus. As such, a ray optics model was developed, which predicted that the annulus width of the drop would decrease as the refractive index of the drop approached that of the surrounding liquid. Therefore, the dark annulus of the drops in the Hele-Shaw cell was caused by the refraction of light passing through the circular meniscus of the drop.

Abstract:
We study the axisymmetric spreading of drops deposited on a pre-existing horizontal layer of the same viscous fluid. Using a combination of experiments, numerical modelling based on the axisymmetric free-surface Navier–Stokes equations and scaling analyses, we explore the drops’ behaviour in a regime where the flow is driven by gravitational and/or capillary forces while inertial effects are small. We find that during the early stages of the drops’ evolution there are three distinct spreading behaviours depending on the thickness of the liquid layer. For thin layers the fluid ahead of a clearly defined spreading front is at rest and the overall behaviour resembles that of a drop spreading on a dry substrate. For thicker films, the spreading is characterised by an advancing wedge which is sustained by fluid flow from the drop into the layer. Finally, for thick layers the drop sinks into the layer, accompanied by significant flow within the layer. As the drop keeps spreading, the evolution of its shape becomes self-similar, with a power-law behaviour for its radius and its excess height above the undisturbed fluid layer. We employ lubrication theory to analyse the drop’s ultimate long-term behaviour and show that all drops ultimately enter an asymptotic regime which is reached when their excess height falls below the thickness of the undisturbed layer.

Abstract:
Experiments were conducted on the interactions of two different-sized deformable drops moving due to gravity in an immiscible viscous fluid at low Reynolds number. As the drops come close to each other, several interactions are possible: (i) separation of the drops, (ii) capture of the smaller drop behind the larger drop, (iii) breakup of the smaller drop into two or more drops, and (iv) pass-through of one drop through the other, with possible cycle interaction or leap-frogging. The interactions depend on several system parameters, including the drop-to-medium viscosity ratio, the radius ratio of the two drops, the initial horizontal offset of the two drops at large vertical separation, and the gravitational Bond number (which represents the ratio of buoyant forces to interfacial tension forces for the larger drop and describes how much the drops will deform). Experimental analysis was conducted by videotaping trajectories of glycerol–water drops of various compositions falling in castor oil. The results show good agreement with available theoretical results, both for interaction maps and individual trajectories. The results also provide data beyond the present limitations of theoretical algorithms and reveal the new pass-through phenomenon.

Abstract:
Abstract Most cloud radiation models and conventional data processing techniques assume that the mean number of drops of a given radius is proportional to volume. The analysis of microphysical data on liquid water drop sizes shows that, for sufficiently small volumes, this proportionality breaks down; the number of cloud drops of a given radius is instead proportional to the volume raised to a drop size–dependent nonunit power. The coefficient of proportionality, a generalized drop concentration, is a function of the drop size. For abundant small drops the power is unity as assumed in the conventional approach. However, for rarer large drops, it falls increasingly below unity. This empirical fact leads to drop clustering, with the larger drops exhibiting a greater degree of clustering. The generalized drop concentration shows the mean number of drops per cluster, while the power characterizes the occurrence frequency of clusters. With a fixed total number of drops in a cloud, a decrease in frequency of clusters is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the generalized concentration. This initiates a competing process missed in the conventional models: an increase in the number of drops per cluster enhances the impact of rarer large drops on cloud radiation while a decrease in the frequency suppresses it. Because of the nonlinear relationship between the number of clustered drops and the volume, these two opposite tendencies do not necessarily compensate each other. The data analysis suggests that clustered drops likely have a stronger radiative impact compared to their unclustered counterpart; ignoring it results in underestimation of the contribution from large drops to cloud horizontal optical path.

Abstract:
Abstract. Weather radars measure rainfall in altitude, whereas hydro-meteorologists are mainly interested in rainfall at ground level. During their fall, drops are advected by the wind, which affects the location of the measured field. The governing equation of a rain drop's motion relates the acceleration to the forces of gravity and buoyancy along with the drag force. It depends non-linearly on the instantaneous relative velocity between the drop and the local wind, which yields complex behaviour. Here, the drag force is expressed in a standard way with the help of a drag coefficient expressed as a function of the Reynolds number. Corrections accounting for the oblateness of drops greater than 1–2 mm are suggested and validated through a comparison of the retrieved “terminal fall velocity” (i.e. without wind) with commonly used relationships in the literature. An explicit numerical scheme is then implemented to solve this equation for a 3+1D turbulent wind field, and hence analyse the temporal evolution of the velocities and trajectories of rain drops during their fall. It appears that multifractal features of the input wind are simply transferred to the drop velocity with an additional fractional integration whose level depends on the drop size, and a slight time shift. Using an actual high-resolution 3D sonic anemometer and a scale invariant approach to simulate realistic fluctuations of wind in space, trajectories of drops of various sizes falling form 1500 m are studied. For a strong wind event, drops located within a radar gate in altitude during 5 min are spread on the ground over an area of the size of a few kilometres. The spread for drops of a given diameter is found to cover a few radar pixels. Consequences on measurements of hydro-meteorological extremes that are needed to improve the resilience of urban areas are discussed.

Abstract:
We study the evaporation rate from single drops as well as collections of drops on a solid substrate, both experimentally and theoretically. For a single isolated drop of water, in general the evaporative flux is limited by diffusion of water through the air, leading to an evaporation rate that is proportional to the linear dimension of the drop. Here, we test the limitations of this scaling law for several small drops and for very large drops. We find that both for simple arrangements of drops, as well as for complex drop size distributions found in sprays, cooperative effects between drops are significant. For large drops, we find that the onset of convection introduces a length scale of approximately 20 mm in radius, below which linear scaling is found. Above this length scale, the evaporation rate is proportional to the surface area.

Abstract:
Drop formation in cross-junction micro-channels is numerically studied using the lattice Boltzmann method with pseudo-potential model. To verify the simulation, the results are compared to previous numerical and experimental data. Furthermore, the effects of capillary number, flow rate ratio, contact angle, and viscosity ratio on the flow patterns, drop length, and interval between drops are investigated and highlighted. The results show that the drop forming process has different regimes, namely, jetting, drop, and squeezing regimes. Also, it is shown that increasing in the flow rate ratio in the squeezing regime causes increment in drop length and decrement in drops interval distance. On the other hand, the drops length and the interval between the generated drops increase as contact angle increases. Also, the drop length and distance between drops is solely affected by viscosity ratio.

Abstract:
This work aims at investigating numerically the effects of channel corrugation in two-phase flows with single and multiples drops subject to buoyancy-driven motion. A state-of-the-art model is employed to accurately compute the dynamics of the drop’s interface deformation using a modern moving frame/moving mesh technique within the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian framework, which allows one to simulate very large domains. The results reveal a complex and interesting dynamics when more than one drop is present in the system, leading eventually in coalescence due to the amplitude of the corrugated sinusoidal channel and distance between drops.

Iba Ndiaye Diadji, a Senegalese professor of aesthetics, sees water as intrinsic to African ontology. He also argues that water is the most important substance to inspire African artists. (Diadji 2003: 273–275.) Water certainly has a significant role in Swahili poetry, written traditionally by people living on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Swahili poems have used aquatic imagery in expressing different ideas and sensations, in different contexts and times. Water imagery can be found in hundreds of years old Islamic hymns as well as in political poetry written during the colonial German East Africa. This article discusses water imagery in traditional Islamic Swahili poetry.

Abstract:
The behaviour of viscoplastic drops during formation and detachment from a capillary nozzle, free-fall, impact on a solid substrate and subsequent spreading are investigated experimentally by high-speed imaging. Drop dynamic behaviour is an integral component of many contemporary industrial processes ranging from fuelinjection systems in combustion engines to spray coating, agrochemical and pharmaceutical delivery, fire extinguishment and ink-jet printing. Yield-stress fluids are commonly used nowadays in products ranging from mayonnaise to hair-gel. It is hoped that through understanding the dynamics of viscoplastic fluids, additional spray applications can be developed that will help to advance and optimise industrial processes. Viscoplastic fluids exhibit shear-thinning behaviour when the applied stress exceeds a certain threshold value, called the yield-stress. Below this threshold however, the fluid behaves like an elastic solid. By comparing the behaviour of viscoplastic drops with both Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids, yield-stress is shown to be capable of altering detachment behaviour, drop shape during free-fall, impact morphology and the final sessile shape of drops after spreading. For drops attached to the end of a capillary tube, growth continues until a maximum supportable tensile stress is reached in the drop neck. After this critical point, drops become unstable and detach. The critical break-up behaviour of low yield-stress drops is found to be similar to those of Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids. Above a threshold value however, characterised in terms of the ratio between yield-stress magnitude and capillary pressure, yield-stress forces exceed surface tension forces and the maximum tensile stress achievable in the drop neck at critical stability is governed by the extensional yield-stress, established using the von Mises criterion. This threshold value can also be used to characterise equilibrium drop shapes during free-fall. Whereas Newtonian, shear-thinning and low yield-stress fluids form near spherical equilibrium drop shapes, fluids above a threshold value become increasingly more prolate as the yield-stress increases. Upon impact, viscoplastic drops can exhibit central peaks at the end of inertial spreading. The influence of yield-stress magnitude on impact behaviour is qualitatively established by measuring the size of these peaks. Peaks indicate that deformation during impact is localized and within a threshold radius, shear stresses will not be large enough to overcome the yield-stress, therefore fluid within this region will not deform from the drop shape prior to impact. After impact, spreading will be dependent on the surface energy. Again, the ratio of the yield-stress magnitude to the capillary pressure can be used to characterise the final sessile drop shape. Whilst the equilibrium contact angle of Newtonian, shear-thinning and low yield-stress drops is independent of the yield-stress magnitude, above a threshold value, contact angles vary as a function of yield-stress magnitude. Whilst the research presented in this thesis highlights how fluid yield-stress can influence drop dynamics, some results are only qualitative. To establish more quantitative results, computational fluid dynamics methods should be used to examine viscoplastic drop dynamics. This research should focus primarily on impact behaviour, an aspect that has not received much attention previously. Modelling shear-thinning and viscoplastic fluid behaviour can be achieved by incorporating the relevant rheological models into the flow equations and examining impact morphology using a volume of fluid method. Numerical results can then be directly compared with the experimental results. Useful further experimentation could examine the relaxation behaviour of diamagnetically levitated viscoplastic drops. The results from this work could provide further insight into what rheological model best describes viscoplastic behaviour for shear-stresses below the yield-point.

Abstract:
Water drops are present throughout our daily lives. Microscopic droplets create fog and mist, and large drops fall as rain. Because of their shape and refractive properties, water drops exhibit a wide variety of visual effects. If not directly illuminated by a light source, they are difficult to see. But if they are directly illuminated, they can become the brightest objects in the environment. This thesis has two main components. First, we will show how to create two-and three-dimensional displays using water drops and a projector. Water drops act as tiny spherical lenses, refracting light into a wide angle. To a person viewing an illuminated drop, it will appear that the drop is the same color as the incident light ray. Using a valve assembly, we will fill a volume with non-occluding water drops. At any instant in time, no ray from the projector will intersect with two drops. Using a camera, we will detect the drops locations, then illuminate them with the projector. The final result is a programmable, dynamic, and three-dimensional display. Second, we will show how to reduce the effect of water drops in videos via spatio-temporal frequency analysis, and in real life, by using a projector to illuminate everything except the drops. To remove rain (and snow) from videos, we will use a streak model in frequency space to find the frequencies corresponding to rain and snow in the video. These frequencies can then be suppressed to reduce the effect of rain and snow. We will also suppress the visual effect of water drops by selectively “missing” them by not illuminating them with a projector. In light rain, this can be performed by tracking individual drops. This kind of drop-avoiding light source could be used for many nighttime applications, such as car headlights.

Full text
Abstract:
When two fluid drops come close enough together to touch, surface tension quickly pulls the drops together into one larger drop. This is an example of a singular fluid flow, as the topology of the interface changes at the moment of contact. Similarly, when a pair of bubbles touch, the surface topology changes and a singular flow begins. Since the stress from surface tension depends on the surface curvature, these singularities are often characterised by divergent fluid velocities. Experimental observation or numerical simulation of these flows is therefore difficult due to the high velocities and small lengthscales. In this thesis, I will find multi-scale theoretical solutions for the singular flows during the initial stages of the coalescence of bubbles and drops, solving for the velocity field in the fluid and the rate of coalescence. Each solution has several lengthscales, and on each lengthscale, we must solve some form of the Navier--Stokes equations. I will employ a variety of analytical and numerical techniques to solve for the flow on each scale. These asymptotic solutions are valid at early times; future numerical simulations of the subsequent flow could be initialised with these solutions, rather than the actual singularity. In the course of solving for these singular flows, I will also describe the solution for the motion of a stretched fluid edge, the retraction of a narrow fluid wedge, the capillary flow around a parabola, and the effect of a time-dependent force on a fluid half-space. These fundamental flows have applications outside of coalescence, which I will outline throughout the thesis.

Abstract:
Spray drying is a process, which produces powders from the fluid state. This type of process is mostly used in the industrial sector. In this process, a liquid slurry is atomized, forming droplets, which are dried with hot air. During spray drying these droplets will interact and upon impact can show different types of interactions; droplet-droplet collisions as well as interactions with partially or completely dried particles, leading to agglomeration. The result of collision gives properties of the dried powder. The focus of the thesis is to investigate the droplet-droplet collision outcomes of WPC 80 (Whey Protein Concentrate 80) and Lactose. Then the effects of the absolute droplet diameter and the droplet diameter ratios are to be determined. Existing experimental setup and Image Processing Tool of MATLAB is used to study the collision outcome. The outcomes are shown in a regime map. The present results are compared with different products result and literature study. It is observed that there is an effect on collision outcome for different droplet size ratios and no effect for absolute droplet diameter.

Abstract:
The short stories in this collection focus on young individuals', especially women's, experience and development as they navigate personal relationships and search for a place in the world. Both longer stories and flash fiction are included, and stories are told in past and present tense, and from first, second, and third person point of view. However, the narration of all of these stories stays close to the characters' points of view, inhabiting their visceral experience. These stories take place in a variety of settings, including a beachside motel, college campuses, bars, and offices. All of these characters, though, struggle with questions of identity, intimacy, and purpose. These conflicts are revealed through the characters' interactions with others and reactions to their environments, especially focusing on the small details of ordinary events and settings. By depicting these characters' encounters with the everyday, their sense of self and experiences are shown, and thus the particularities of women's relationships with their selves, their bodies, and their relationships are represented. In addition to this collection of short stories, the Writing Life Essay in this thesis discusses my development as a writer, my aims, and the writers, such as Dylan Landis, Joy Williams, and Mary Gaitskill, who have influenced my work.

Abstract:
We report in this work the evolution of a physically-based drop size-distribution of atomized drops coupling the Maximum Entropy Formalism (MEF) and the Monte Carlo method. The atomization is performed using a Spray On Demand (SOD) print-head which exploits ultrasonic generation via a Faraday instability. The physically-based distribution is a result of the coupling of a MEF specific formulation and a general Gamma distribution. The prediction of the drop size distribution of the new device is performed. The dynamic model which prediction capability is fairly good is shown to be sensitive to operating conditions, design parameters and physico-chemical properties of the fluid. In order to achieve the drop size-distribution evolution, we solve the distribution equation, reformulated via the mass flow algorithm, using a convergent Monte Carlo Method able to predict coalescence of sprayed droplets.
