● Capillary waves: ripples on droplets ●
Explore, in the ESPCI MOOC video, how surface tension and inertia create capillary waves on droplets. Understanding these waves is important for advanced droplet dynamics studies.

5.3 Capillarity and inertia - Impacts
#OnThisDay in 1826, physicist Georges Sire was born. His thesis on the “globular state of liquids” contributed to the early study of the #LeidenfrostEffect.

From the Globular State of Liquids to the Leidenfrost Effect
Long before high-speed imaging and numerical simulations, Georges Sire was already investigating the behavior of liquids on hot surfaces. On the anniversary of his birth, we look back at the work of this 19th-century physicist and his contribution to the early study of the Leidenfrost effect. Read more

Engineered capillary materials and even natural structures like wood can sustain vapor levitation and self-propel on hot surfaces, expanding Leidenfrost physics beyond droplets.

Capillary Leidenfrost effect - Nature Physics
If a surface is hot enough, a liquid droplet can develop an insulating vapour layer that makes it levitate above the surface, which is known as the Leidenfrost effect. A solid structure of liquid-filled capillaries is now shown to display this levitating effect at much lower temperatures.
You were waiting to discover the LeidenForce PhD students on video: we are launching the first episode of our series: True Force Portraits – LeidenForce talents on the boil.
This episode features Cheikh Tidiane DIOUM, PhD student recruited by @stephanedorbolo at the @UniversitedeLiege within the PtYX laboratory.
