@LKahouadji @StrathMathStat @UniStrathclyde @MatarLab Good luck Lyes! Looking forward to seeing you!

I think I’m going to have fun 🤩. What ever it takes, I will make it to Glasgow. Looking forward to be there tomorrow at @StrathMathStat @UniStrathclyde to give a seminar on Multiphase Flow, Contact lines, surfactants, and interfacial rheology.

...accurate predictions for the deposition from droplets - with no need for numerical calculations! (experimental data from nature.com/articles/ncomm…)

Newly accessible: (nearly) sharp polygons! In contrast to our previous work in JFM (doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20…) this now includes second order terms for polchromatic footprints. This has lots of nice impacts including…

How do you determine the evaporation of non-circular 🔷 #droplets 💦 both in isolation, and in arrays? High order asymptotics give excellent explicit solutions - even where numerics struggle! New #openaccess article with @Matheleine in @SciReports now! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Delighted that my ongoing work on #droplets 💦 with @Matheleine has been recognised and supported with a @RoyalSocEd Research Collaboration Grant! More exciting results incoming soon! @StrathMathStat

This promises to be an excellent meeting!

@prashantvalluri @DebarshiD95 @apsfluiddynamic @APSMeetings @YorkUniversity @Aristoteleio @OkMatar @MatarLab @SchoolOfEng_UoE @Thermasmart Are these the droplets that translate? Is there a preprint or a copy of the slides anywhere?

Me pretending to be @DebarshiD95 describing his work on “Evaporation of droplet populations comprising binary mixtures” @apsfluiddynamic @APSMeetings #APSDFD2023 Collab: Alidad Amirfazli @YorkUniversity Toronto, George Karapetsas @Aristoteleio, @OkMatar @MatarLab

If you are interested in #evaporating #droplets (or have nothing better to do at 11:05 tomorrow) please join me in Ballroom B for my #APSDFD2023 @apsfluiddynamic invited talk on the evaporation of sessile droplets!

Yes, you can get a coffee-ring from #droplets even with zero evaporation at the contact line! New #openaccess paper with Hannah D'Ambrosio, @S_K_Wilson & Brian Duffy in @JFluidMech: doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20… Asymptotics, sharp analytics - perfect @iciam2023 withdrawal prevention!

I will be introducing, and then talking about some optimal electrostatic #control with @susanatgomes and @rcimpeanu based on our recent @PhysRevFluids paper: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… #ICIAM2023

For those attending @iciam2023, do come to "Advances in modelling and simulation of interfacial flows" [00037] Exciting minisymposium organised with Mark Blyth and @anna_kalog9!

@DavidNSibley @rcimpeanu @anna_kalog9 @pradas_marc 😇

Apparently I've been here just over 4 years. Thanks for the productivity decrease since Valencia @rcimpeanu, @anna_kalog9, @alexwwray, @pradas_marc! #MyTwitterAnniversary

How does gravity affect the deposition from an evaporating sessile droplet? A cool new #openaccess paper in @JFluidMech with @Matheleine! doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20… Geometry yields intricate interactions with evaporation, flow, advection & diffusion, giving unexpected behaviour!

How can you calculate the #evaporation rate from non-circular #droplets? See our new #openaccess @JFluidMech paper doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20…! New analytical & asymptotic fun with @Matheleine, with applications in electrostatics, porosity, elastostatics & more… @StrathMathStat

Optimal #control of multiphase flows is mathematically rich (multiphys asymptotics,control theory & #CFD) & technologically relevant. See new @PhysRevFluids with @rcimpeanu+@susanatgomes executing this with electric fields🌩 doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… @StrathMathStat @warwickmaths

Honoured to be formally awarded the @BritSocRheology Annual Award 2022 at the BSR Mid-Winter Meeting this afternoon. I am slightly embarrassed to be in such distinguished company! #rheology #fluiddynamics #liquidcrystals @StrathMathStat bsr.org.uk/pages/annual-a… (1/2)

However, please do catch the #apsdfd talk by @CarnegieUni PhD student Rebecca McKinley @StrathMathStat by myself and @alexwwray on "Optimal electrostatic control and reduced-order modelling of thick-film flow on a uniformly rotating cylinder" if you can! (2/2).

Very happy to announce that #BIFD2024 will be in Edinburgh with help from @StrathMathStat and @ImperialChemEng. Exact dates TBC soon.

Many thanks to @EPSRC @IASWarwick and the Mathematical Research Centre for support. Our fantastic line-up includes @alexwwray @_alicet @bengoddard @MathsMoore @markwilsonleeds @OrySchnitzer @DavidNSibley @anna_kalog9 @prashantvalluri @pradas_marc and @MicroNanoFlows group stars!

Starting today we will be welcoming a fantastic group of colleagues from all over the UK (ambitious given current travel conditions, we know) at an exciting workshop on interfacial flows @susanatgomes and I are organising at @warwickmaths 💧🌊Details here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/…
