In this short paper we present a fluid dynamics video of the deformation of droplets when tilted on a motorized stage. This is a submission to the 2013 Gallery of Fluid Motion which is part of the 66th annual meeting of APS-DFD. The video shows how differently placed droplets on

Local contact line pinning prevents droplets from rearranging to minimal global energy, and models for droplets without pinning cannot predict their shape. We show that experiments are much better described by a theory, developed herein, that does account for the constrained cont

The ability to trap or deflect sliding drops is of great interest in microfluidics, as it has several technological applications, ranging from self-cleaning and fog harvesting surfaces to laboratory-on-a-chip devices. We present a three-dimensional numerical model that describes

We present a theoretical model to calculate the volume of non-wetting bubbles and droplets in segmented microflows from given dimensions of the microchannel and measured lengths of bubbles and droplets. Despite the importance of these volumes in interpreting experiments on reacti

We present a numerical simulation technique to calculate the deformation of interfaces between a conductive and non-conductive fluid as well as the motion of liquid¿liquid¿solid three-phase contact lines under the influence of externally applied electric fields in electrowetting
