Abstract

Leidenfrost drops exhibit complex shape oscillations on curved substrates. Experiments are conducted using six different liquids on three substrate geometries: curved, targeted, and toroidal, and the droplet dynamics are characterized by their oscillation amplitude. Moderate amplitude star oscillations are most common and a number of previously unreported modes are observed. Large drops exhibit constant frequency oscillations, irrespective of mode number, consistent with prior observation. Small amplitude polygonal oscillations exhibit similar dynamics to star oscillations but with twice the frequency and half the wavelength. A large amplitude n=2 dominates mode selection by suppressing higher-order modes over a large range of drop sizes in the most viscous liquids. Using the targeted substrate geometry allows for observation of those “dormant” modes. Two modes with unique oscillation frequencies can be simultaneously excited on the same drop with a frequency ratio that takes on a fixed value.
