Liquid Freezing Dynamics on Hydrophobic and Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Miljkovic, Nenad, Enright, Ryan, Wang, Evelyn N.

“…The heat flux (q” ~ 1 GW/m2) due to the latent heat of freezing could not be removed rapidly enough to match the velocity of the freezing front (vf ≈ 1500 m/s), resulting in evaporation and ejection of the liquid (protrusions) from the droplet interface. These distinct freezing droplet behaviors can significantly alter dynamics of phasechange phenomena on these surfaces. …”

Perspectives on Molecular-Level Understanding of Thermophysics of Liquids and Future Research Directions by Chen, Gang

“…This article provides the author's perspectives on the current molecular-level understanding of thermophysical properties and transport processes in liquids. After illustrating peculiarities of the thermophysical properties of some common liquids using experimental data on their specific heat, thermal conductivity, and viscosity, the article moves on with a summary of existing molecular pictures and theoretical approaches on liquids, followed with elaborations on different models developed for the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and viscosity. …”

Dendritic patterns from shear-enhanced anisotropy in nematic liquid crystals by Zhang, Qing, Zhou, Shuang, Zhang, Rui, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We controllably induce such a morphology transition by shear-enhancing the anisotropy of nematic liquid crystal solutions. For fast enough flow induced by the finger growth, the intrinsic tumbling behavior of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals can be suppressed, which results in a flow alignment of the material. …”
