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

Lights, camera, action... the super-fast world of droplet dynamics @universityleeds phys.org/news/2020-02-camera…

Lights, camera, action... the super-fast world of droplet dynamics

Cameras shooting up to 25,000 frames a second have been used to capture the moment two droplets of liquid come together and mix—and it is opening up research into new applications for 3-D printing.

How to control mixing between two droplets? Tune the interfacial tension to either enhance of suppress surface jets. Beautiful video captured in our labs by @FluidsTom - with thanks to the @royalsociety and @EPSRC @UKFluidsNetwork (with @RafaelCastrejon and @markwilsonleeds)

Do you want to know about binary droplet collisions? Or more specifically the differences between the collisions of identical droplets and those of droplets with non-identical viscosities? Check out our @ProfBayly new paper in Experiments in Fluids doi.org/10.1007/s00348-019-2…
