It was recently claimed by Bhagat et al. (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 851 (2018), R5) that the scientific literature on the circular hydraulic jump in a thin liquid film is flawed by improper treatment and severe underestimation of the influence of surface tension. Bhagat {em et al.} use an energy equation with a new surface energy term that is introduced without reference, and they conclude that the location of the hydraulic jump is determined by surface tension alone. We show that this approach is incorrect and derive a corrected energy equation. Proper treatment of surface tension in thin film flows is of general interest beyond hydraulic jumps, and we show that the effect of surface tension is fully contained in the Laplace pressure due to the curvature of the surface. Following the same approach as Bhagat et al., i.e., keeping only the first derivative of the surface velocity, the influence of surface tension is, for thin films, much smaller than claimed by them. We further describe the influence of viscosity in thin film flows, and we conclude by discussing the distinction between time-dependent and stationary hydraulic jumps.

A physics-informed neural network (PINN), which has been recently proposed by Raissi et al [J. Comp. Phys. 378, pp. 686-707 (2019)], is applied to the partial differential equation (PDE) of liquid film flows. The PDE considered is the time evolution
of the thickness distribution $h(x,t)$ owing to the Laplace pressure, which involves 4th-order spatial derivative and 4th-order nonlinear term. Even for such a PDE, it is confirmed that the PINN can predict the solutions with sufficient accuracy. Nevertheless, some improvements are needed in training convergence and accuracy of the solutions. The precision of floating-point numbers is a critical issue for the present PDE. When the calculation is executed with a single precision floating-point number, the optimization is terminated due to the loss of significant digits. Calculation of the automatic differentiation (AD) dominates the computational time required for training, and becomes exponentially longer with increasing order of derivatives. By splitting the original 4th-order one-variable PDE into 2nd-order two-variable PDEs, the computational time for each training iteration is greatly reduced. The sampling density of training data also significantly affects training convergence. For the problem considered in this study, mproved convergence was obtained by allowing the sampling density of training data to be greater in earlier time ranges, where the rapid diffusion of the thickness occurs.
Liquid drops and vibrations are ubiquitous in both everyday life and technology, and their combination can often result in fascinating physical phenomena opening up intriguing opportunities for practical applications in biology, medicine, chemistry a
nd photonics. Here we study, theoretically and experimentally, the response of pancake-shaped liquid drops supported by a solid plate that vertically vibrates at a single, low acoustic range frequency. When the vibration amplitudes are small, the primary response of the drop is harmonic at the frequency of the vibration. However, as the amplitude increases, the half-frequency subharmonic Faraday waves are excited parametrically on the drop surface. We develop a simple hydrodynamic model of a one-dimensional liquid drop to analytically determine the amplitudes of the harmonic and the first superharmonic components of the linear response of the drop. In the nonlinear regime, our numerical analysis reveals an intriguing cascade of instabilities leading to the onset of subharmonic Faraday waves, their modulation instability and chaotic regimes with broadband power spectra. We show that the nonlinear response is highly sensitive to the ratio of the drop size and Faraday wavelength. The primary bifurcation of the harmonic waves is shown to be dominated by a period-doubling bifurcation, when the drop height is comparable with the width of the viscous boundary layer. Experimental results conducted using low-viscosity ethanol and high-viscocity canola oil drops vibrated at 70 Hz are in qualitative agreement with the predictions of our modelling.
Superhydrophobic surfaces have been shown to produce significant drag reduction in both laminar and turbulent flows by introducing an apparent slip velocity along an air-water interface trapped within the surface roughness. In the experiments present
ed within this study, we demonstrate the existence of a surface tension gradient associated with the resultant Marangoni flow along an air-water interface that causes the slip velocity and slip length to be significantly reduced. In this study, the slip velocity along a millimeter-sized air-water interface was investigated experimentally. This large-scale air-water interface facilitated a detailed investigation of the interfacial velocity profiles as the flow rate, interfacial curvature and interface geometry were varied. For the air-water interfaces supported above continuous grooves (concentric rings within a torsional shear flow) where no surface tension gradient exists, a slip velocity as high as 30% of the bulk velocity was observed. However, for the air-water interfaces supported above discontinuous grooves (rectangular channels in a Poiseuille flow), the presence of a surface tension gradient reduced the slip velocity and in some cases resulted in an interfacial velocity that was opposite to the main flow direction. The curvature of the air-water interface in the spanwise direction was found to dictate the details of the interfacial flow profile with reverse flow in the center of the interface for concave surfaces and along the outside of the interface for convex surfaces. The deflection of the air-water interface was also found to greatly affect the magnitude of the slip. Numerical simulations imposed with a relatively small surface tension gradient along the air-water interface were able to predict both the reduced slip velocity and back flow along the air-water interface.
This progress report summarizes recent studies of electrochemical oxidation to modulate the interfacial tension of gallium-based alloys. These alloys, which are liquid at ambient conditions, have the largest interfacial tension of any liquid at room
temperature. The ability to modulate the tension offers the possibility to create forces that change the shape and position of the metal. It has been known since the late 1800s that electrocapillarity-the use of potential to modulate the electric double layer on the surface of metals in electrolyte-lowers the interfacial tension of liquid metal. Yet, this phenomenon can only achieve modest changes in interfacial tension since it is limited to potential windows that avoid reactions. A recent discovery suggests that reactions driven by the electrochemical oxidation of gallium alloys cause the interfacial tension to decrease from ~500 mN/m at 0 V to ~0 mN/m at ~0.8 V, a change in tension that goes well beyond what is possible via conventional electrocapillarity or surfactants. The changes in tension are reversible; reductive potentials return the metal back to a state of high interfacial tension. This report aims to summarize key work and introduce beginners to this field by including electrochemistry basics while addressing misconceptions. We discuss applications that utilize modulations in interfacial tension of liquid metal and conclude with remaining opportunities and challenges that need further investigation.
Particle-particle and particle-wall collisions occur in many natural and industrial applications such as sedimentation, agglomeration, and granular flows. To accurately predict the behavior of particulate flows, fundamental knowledge of the mechanism
s of a single collision is required. In this fluid dynamics video, particle-wall collisions onto a wall coated with 1.5% poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) (viscoelastic liquid) and 80% Glycerol and water (Newtonian liquid) are shown.
