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.

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 https://t.co/FLjNlcTaHf @OxfordFluids

@prashantvalluri @MatarLab @UKFluidsNetwork @OxfordFluids @phantomhispeed Thanks Prash!

[Tom Sykes @FluidsTom]

Thanks @MatarLab! Our entry to the recent @UKFluidsNetwork competition looks at splashing on thin films, imaged at over 100k fps. @OxfordFluids @phantomhispeed

@PREMIERE_UKRI Thanks!

@MatarLab @OxfordFluids @UKFluidsNetwork Thanks all!

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.

[Tom Sykes @FluidsTom]

(How) does viscosity affect binary droplet collision outcomes? Find out in our new @JFluidMech paper (https://t.co/oGLSRvUryA), led by @K_H_AlDirawi. Thanks to @EPSRC & @RoyalSociety | @OxEngSci @WadhamOxford @CDTFluidsLeeds.

Really enjoyable day yesterday - thanks to all of the speakers and attendees #DropsSIG

[Oxford Fluid Dynamics Lab @OxfordFluids]

A snapshot (one page) of our Drop Dynamics SIG meeting yesterday - thank you all for coming! It was great to see familiar faces and so many new ones! It was a truly international event! @RafaelCastrejon @FluidsTom @UKFluidsNetwork

[Tom Sykes @FluidsTom]

@S_K_Wilson @UKFluidsNetwork @EPSRC @OxfordFluids @wadhamoxford @RafaelCastrejon Look forward to seeing you at the in person meeting next year!

[Tom Sykes @FluidsTom]

Join us for a virtual @UKFluidsNetwork Drop Dynamics SIG meeting - Tuesday 29th June - featuring 8 speakers based in 5 countries. Inkjet, impact, surfactants, wetting and more! To join: https://t.co/BpYbcSmb4C Open to all - register soon as capacity is limited! @EPSRC #DropsSIG

@STangparitkul Nope, you're all good if you've got the link. See you tomorrow :)

[Tom Sykes @FluidsTom]

Meeting link has just been sent via email to those who filled in the form. All existing SIG members should have already have received the link last week.
