Liquid bridge breakup is a fascinating process with applications in microfluidics, printing, and wetting. While the classical problem involves a liquid bridge surrounded by another fluid (like air or oil), in this project we focus on a different case: liquid bridges on solid surfaces. These systems introduce new physics, particularly at the interface between the liquid and the solid.

In previous works, we’ve looked into how viscosity affects the breakup of these bridges. We also know that the surface properties of the solid play a role. But now we want to go a step further: what happens when the liquid contains salt?
