wetting

Dear iMechanicians,

I would like to share our recent work published in Phys. Rev. Fluids on the statics and dynamics of droplets on lubricated surfaces: 

Droplets on lubricated surfaces: The slow dynamics of skirt formation

A 15 months post Doctoral position is avalaible on mechanical and numerical modeling fields. This is a join project between Univ. Paris 7 & Paris 13.

The present postdoc subject is focussed on situations in which a wetting or dewetting front is interacting with a soft, more or less deformable material.

More details in the enclosed pdf description file.

The attached paper was recently published
in Applied Physics Letters. We show for the first time that Nucleation and
Condensation of Water can be spatially controlled. Such control of nucleation
phenomena and the fundamental findings discussed in the paper have implications
for the Energy and Water industry. The paper can be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?APL/95/094101/1
