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.

Hydrodynamic flows in compliant channels are of great interest in physiology and microfluidics. In these situations, elastohydrodynamic coupling leads to (i) a nonlinear pressure-vs-flow-rate relation, strongly affecting the hydraulic resistance; and …

We study in this article, published in Soft Matter, the debonding of a soft adhesive layer from a micrometric pillar. We uncover power laws as a function of the pillar …

We have recently published this article in which we demonstrate that the surfactant concentration is important for bubble stability, as expected but that the reason why is that it affects …

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 …

We just published an article in Phys. Rev. Fluids on the drainage of surface bubbles. The prediction of the lifetime of surface bubbles indeed necessitates a better understanding of the …

On May 31th 2021 we have done this group picture. Unfortunately, some people of the group were not on the picture. We missed them.

Our article “Comment faire des bulles géantes ?” has been published in the popularization journal The Conversation. What is the best recipe to blow big bubbles? What is the current …
