We present an experimental study on the freezing of alkane drops impacted on a liquid bath. More specifically, for drops of hexadecane and tetradecane on brine, we found a morphological …
The CNRS released an article on our researcher supported by the ANR Asperfoam. The aim of this research is to understand the friction of liquid foam on rough surfaces. Article …
We just published the study related to the bamboo foam illustrated on this picture that received the “coup de coeur” price from the CNRS picture contest. When an open tube …

Evaporation is known to cause cooling, much like perspiration. Physicists have measured the temperature of soap films to show that they can be up to 8°C cooler than the temperature of the environment.
Authors: François Boulogne, Alexis Commereuc When glass tubes are plunged in a glass filled with a foamy liquid which is covered by a foam layer, bubbles spontaneously enter in the …
We investigate theoretically and numerically the diffusion-limited evaporation of a liquid deposited on a fiber in two configurations: a sleeve and a axisymmetric barrel-shaped droplet. For a sleeve, the local …
Manon Marchand defended her PhD thesis at Laboratoire de Physique des Solides on the foam friction on rough surfaces. She obtained the price from the physics graduate school of Paris-Saclay …
