Driven dissipative many-body systems are described by differential equations for macroscopic variables which include fluctuations that account for ignored microscopic variables. Here, we investigate the effect of deterministic fluctuations, drawn from a system in a state of phase turbulence, on front dynamics. We show that despite these fluctuations a front may remain pinned, in contrast to fronts in systems with Gaussian white noise fluctuations, and explore the pinning-depinning transition. In the deterministic case, this transition is found to be robust but its location in parameter space is complex, generating a fractal-like structure. We describe this transition by deriving an equation for the front position, which takes the form of an overdamped system with a ratchet potential and chaotic forcing; this equation can, in turn, be transformed into a linear parametrically driven oscillator with a chaotically oscillating frequency. The resulting description provides an unambiguous characterization of the pinning-depinning transition in parameter space. A similar calculation for noise-driven front propagation shows that the pinning-depinning transition is washed out.

Pinning-depinning transition of droplets on inclined substrates with a three-dimensional topographical defect.

Droplets on inclined substrates can depin and slide freely above a critical substrate inclination angle. Pinning can be caused by topographical defects on the substrate, and understanding the influence of defect geometry on the pinning-depinning transition is important for diverse applications such as fog harvesting, droplet-based microfluidic devices, self-cleaning surfaces, and inkjet printing. Here, we develop a lubrication-theory-based model to investigate the motion of droplets on inclined substrates with a single three-dimensional Gaussian-shaped defect that can be in the form of a bump or a dent.

We investigate the influence of quenched disorder on the steady states of driven systems of the elastic interface with nonlocal hydrodynamic interactions. The generalized elastic model (GEM), which has been used to characterize numerous physical systems such as polymers, membranes, single-file systems, rough interfaces, and fluctuating surfaces, is a standard approach to studying the dynamics of elastic interfaces with nonlocal hydrodynamic interactions. The criticality and phase transition of the quenched generalized elastic model are investigated numerically and the results are presented in a phase diagram spanned by two tuning parameters.

Droplet boiling on the heating surface is a representative phenomenon in two-phase spray cooling under low volumetric fluxes. In particular, droplet boiling in the transition boiling regime holds the advantages of avoiding heat transfer deterioration in a film boiling regime and achieving comparable high heat transfer capacity in a nucleate boiling regime. While it is known to consist of intermittent liquid contact with the surface and surface dryout, quantifying the ensuing transient heat transfer performance and droplet behavior is very illusive.

The formation of self-organized patterns and localized states are ubiquitous in Nature. Localized states containing trivial symmetries such as stripes, hexagons, or squares have been profusely studied. Disordered patterns with nontrivial symmetries such as labyrinthine patterns are observed in different physical contexts.
