永久浮动滴

Perpetual floating drops

Peter V. Pikhitsa

摘要:

根据粘性排水理论,考虑了同一液体液面上漂浮液滴的稳定性。我们已经表示了空气膜的最小厚度,将液滴从液体表面分离,并且通过Hamaker常数表示液滴的寿命,表征了使空气膜不稳定的范德华力的强度。结果表明,当液滴表面速度超过某个临界值时,水平运动或只是旋转的液滴可以具有无限的寿命。一个壮观的例子,一个长寿的旋转石蜡滴在燃烧的蜡烛。所获得的结果可以帮助使用浮动/旋转液滴原位控制液体表面。

英文摘要:

The stability of floating drops on the liquid surface of the same liquid is considered in terms of viscous drainage theory. We have expressed the minimal thickness of the air film, separating the drop from the liquid surface, and the lifetime of the drop through the Hamaker constant, characterizing the intensity of van-der-Waals forces which make the air film unstable. It is shown that a horizontally moving or just rotating drop can have an infinite lifetime when the drop surface velocity exceeds some critical value. A spectacular example of a long-living rotating paraffin droplet on a burning candle is given. Results obtained can help to control a liquid surface in situ with the use of floating/rotating drops.
