Dynamics of wetting: bouncing, spreading and rolling of droplets (water hammer effect -- water entry and drag-out problems)11. Superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity: the Wenzel and Cassie wetting regimes; 12. The Leidenfrost effect. Liquid marbles: self-propulsion; 13. Physics, geometry, life and death of soap films and bubbles; Index Motivated by a plethora of phenomena from nature, this textbook introduces into the physics of wetting of surfaces. After a brief discussion of the foundations of surface tension, its implementation for floating objects, capillary waves, bouncing droplets, walking of water striders, etc. is discussed. Furthermore, Marangoni flows, surface tension inspired instabilities, condensation and evaporation of droplets, liquid marbles, superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity (lotus effect) are introduced. All relevant concepts are illustrated by the numerous qualitative and quantitative exercises.
