Description:
Author(s): Marie-Gabrielle Medici, Anne Mongruel, Laurent Royon, and Daniel Beysens Droplets of water vapor condensing on a cool surface may grow more quickly or slowly around certain discontinuities such as edges and cavities. The authors study this phenomenon experimentally and theoretically in various configurations. In certain cases, the growth can be enhanced by nearly 500% on edges or corners. [Phys. Rev.
