The behaviour of droplets is complicated. đź’§
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 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.

After giving it time to settle in, I am happy to say that I passed my PhD viva this morning!!
Big thank you to @CDTFluidsLeeds for giving me the opportunity to do my PhD with some great supervisors @ChthonicJon @ChrisDaviesGeo @StevenTobias7.
I couldn't have asked for better!
