Experimental characterization of field induced droplet dynamics

Abstract

The manipulation of a discrete liquid droplet or a group of droplets with or without the deformation of the liquid vapour interface in the presence of an externally stimulating field is an integral part of Lab On Chip devices which in turn determines the performance of target applications A detailed appraisal of the underlying rich physics associated with the deformation and or disruption of the continuous two phase interface and the behaviour of the contact line during the actuation of a drop...
