Research Group
1.Name of Research Group:The Droplet Laboratory
Description of Research Group:Droplets represent a critical form of fluid existence, and the study of droplet dynamics has a rich and enduring history. Nearly one and a half centuries ago, natural phenomena such as "rain calming the sea" drew the attention of prominent scientists like Reynolds and Thomson (the 1906 Nobel laureate in Physics) to droplet research. Beyond their inherent fascination, small droplets exert significant influence: they play a pivotal role in nearly every aspect of the spread of the novel coronavirus, including the generation and atomization of virus-laden droplets, their diffusion, and deposition. Additionally, processes such as the atomization of molten tin droplets and the plasma formation of atomized tin droplets are fundamental to cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet lithography technology. Driven by both advancements in basic science and engineering requirements, droplet dynamics has emerged as a key and frontier topic in fluid mechanics. These frontier issues have captivated the fluid mechanics community, guiding new directions in both fundamental and applied research. Our research team focuses on ultra-high-speed imaging technology, droplet/bubble dynamics, phase change phenomena, and interdisciplinary studies involving droplets in medical engineering, materials science, environmental science, energy systems, and beyond.
