Professor Deng Weiwei obtained a series of original results in microscale experimental fluid dynamics, droplet generation and impact dynamics, droplet-based printing, and opticalfluid mechanics. Published 40 papers, cited more than 1000 times. For the first time, the high-frequency alternating electric field was used to simultaneously induce and control the two instability of varicose and jitter. For the first time, a variety of new jet splitting modes were discovered. These various splitting states were systematically presented, and the linearization was simplified. Unsteady model. This work was published in the Physical Review Letters 2014 issue 112 and was selected as the cover article. This work makes it possible to control the inherent random jitter instability, providing the possibility to generate electrospinning rules, and providing a new solution for generating uniform micro-nano droplets. In terms of droplet impact dynamics, the electrostatic force is introduced for the first time to control the structure of the membrane during the impact of droplets. It is theoretically and experimentally proved that a smaller charge (about 1% of the Rayleigh limit) can be avoided. Form a gas film. This work was published on Soft Matter and was selected as a cover article. In the printing manufacturing, all three layers (electron transport layer, hole transport layer, perovskite active layer) film in a perovskite battery were prepared by electrostatic spraying for the first time, and a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 15% was obtained.
