MorphoDyn

Presentation :

The “Morphogenesis and Dynamics of Self-Organized Systems” (MorphoDyn) team uses physics concepts and tools to study self-organization phenomena, with a strong emphasis on biological systems, but also self-assembly phenomena on the supramolecular scale and the dynamics of nanoparticles in complex media.

The team is made up of both physicists and biologists, fostering interdisciplinary research. It is developing original experimental set-ups to study these phenomena in various model organisms, and has a large number of microscopy devices. The team is also developing a strong numerical and theoretical modeling activity in close collaboration with other MSC teams.

Bubble entrapment by drop impact

Bubble entrapment by drop impact

, ,

Only under certain conditions does a drop falling onto a bath entrap an air bubble. We propose a phenomenological law that describes these bubbling conditions in terms of Froude, Weber, and capillary numbers.Figure. Superimposed images of a drop and the cavity it...
