Inside #LeidenForce - Summer 2026
On the road • LeidenBeauty • Fluid inspirationsSeveral of our PhDs presented across 3 countries, from #Leidenfrost droplets in Italy to electrostatics in Florida.
Here’s your summer dose of LeidenForce: https://shorturl.at/hse2j

🎥 Episode 2 of our doctoral series: an interview with Gauri Patki (working alongside Stéphane Dorbolo at PtYX, @UniversitedeLiege and Alexis Duchesne at IEMN, Université de Lille, @cnrs) on Leidenfrost jets.
Her vision of research, her path, and a bold bridge toward micro-robotics.

A vapor film acts as an insulating layer around a hot surface, but it can also oscillate and become unstable.
This study shows how phase change, heat transfer and liquid viscosity jointly control the stability of the film around a hot sphere.

🔬 At the 13th #CMiF #SummerSchool (#DTU), Cheikh, Gauri and Lorena presented their research on the #Leidenfrost effect and, more importantly, put their results in front of researchers outside the project.
One of the most useful exercises in a PhD.

🌍 Summer moves continue!
In July, Maxim attended the #CISM course Fluid Flows On, In, and of Curved Geometries in Udine, exploring fluid dynamics and interfacial instabilities relevant to Leidenfrost phenomena.
He also presented his research on Leidenfrost droplets, ambient humidity and drop circulation.
More summer events to come!

🌍LeidenForce researchers on the move this summer
In June, Tomas Cerda represented LeidenForce at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the #Electrostatics Society of America in Cocoa Beach, Florida, presenting his work on electric charge on #Leidenfrost droplets, with research from ISTA, Waitukaitis SEML and #LeidenForce
A great opportunity to exchange ideas on electrostatics and bring new
perspectives back to the lab.More summer stories to come!

Tiny pressure oscillations can strongly affect #BubbleDynamics during #boiling.
Understanding these instabilities is key to predicting transitions toward #Leidenfrost states and improving #HeatTransfer control in extreme thermal conditions.

Droplet impacts on superheated surfaces do not cool smoothly. This study shows a nonlinear shift driven by vapor film dynamics.
Above a critical impact velocity, heat transfer jumps sharply, revealing a threshold behavior linked to the Leidenfrost regime.

How surface microstructures affect Leidenfrost droplets.
Numerical results show that pillar size and spacing control vapour escape under the drop, which can delay or suppress the Leidenfrost state and modify droplet rebound.
