How surface microstructures affect #Leidenfrost droplets.
Numerical results show that pillar size and spacing control vapour escape under the drop, which can delay or suppress the Leidenfrost state and modify #droplet rebound.

Effects of surface wettability on bubble dynamics and induced liquid flow: Finite-difference analysis of two-phase particle image velocimetry Bubble dynamics is critical for mass, momentum, and heat transport in two-phase flows. We investigated the effects of surface wettability on bubble formation, departure, and the surrounding liquid flo...

A key takeaway for LeidenForce: surface #wettability radically reshapes the surface–bubble–flow coupling—smaller bubbles, higher detachment frequency, stronger vortical flows.

Self-propelled Leidenfrost droplets on femtosecond-laser-induced surface with periodic hydrophobicity gradient

This study applies #femtosecond laser to create SPHG surfaces, enabling directional self-propulsion of #Leidenfrost droplets by modulating vapor layers and viscous forces, offering a method to control droplet motion & broaden #microfluidic applications.

Lava, steam... and a little lesson in physics. Exploring the Leidenfrost effect in volcanic eruptions Over the last few days, impressive images of Etna erupting have once again captured the world's attention. Columns of ash, lava fountains, incandescent flows: the Sicilian volcano, one of the most active in Europe, reminds us of its power. But watching lobes of lava rush down the snow-covered slopes of the Valle del Bove, generating lahars (mudflows of volcanic origin composed of water and volcanic debris) and producing intense clouds of steam upon contact, an unexpected question came to mind: What connection could there be between a volcanic eruption and a water droplet “dancing” on a hot plate?
