Oscillatory motion of viscoelastic drops on slippery lubricated surfaces
Water droplets move smoothly at a constant speed down an inclined tilted slippery lubricated surface. Here, droplets of polymer fluids are shown to exhibit for the same homogenous surface an oscillatory motion down the slope due to the viscoelastic properties of the solutions.
