Statistical analysis of the drying pattern of coffee

In this study, we experimentally study the dried pattern droplets of coffee with and without sugar. We statistically analyze the rough surface formed after the stain becomes dried. The amount of sugar is controlled by the mass $m$. Along with the formation of the coffee ring, we discuss the Marangoni effect, in the system, and also analyzed the statistics of the cracks. For large enough $m$ values, the exponents approach to the ones for the Gaussian free field (GFF) (the loop fractal dimension $\frac{3}{2}$, loop and gyration radius distribution exponents $\tau_l=\frac{7}{3}$ and $\tau_r=3$ respectively). Using the multifractal analysis (MA) for the mass configuration of the dried pattern, we numerically show that, the mass-fractal dimension is $1.76\pm 0.04$ for the case without sugar, which decreases increasing the sugar. This is explained by the fact that the droplet becomes more hydrophilic, resulting in more sparse spatial patterns, in agreement compatible with the contact angle analysis.

Edwards-Wilkinson Depinning Transition in the Background of Random Coulomb Potential

The Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) growth of $1+1$ interface is considered in the background of the correlated random noise. We use random Coulomb potential as the background long-range correlated noise. A depinning transition is observed in a critical driving force $F_c\approx 0.37$ in the vicinity of which the final velocity of the interface varies linearly with time. Our data collapse analysis for the velocity shows a crossover time $t^*$ at which the velocity is size independent. Based on a two-variable scaling analysis, we extract the exponents, which are different from all universality classes we are aware of. Especially noting that the dynamic and roughness exponents are $z_w=1.55\pm 0.05$, and $α_w=1.05\pm 0.05$ at the criticality, we conclude that the system is different from both EW and KPZ universality classes. Our analysis shows therefore that making the noise long-range-correlated, drives the system out of EW universality class. The simulations on the tilted lattice shows that the non-linearity term ($λ$ term in the KPZ equations) goes to zero in the thermodynamic limit.
