Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the diffusion of liquid molecules into the surrounding atmosphere and the movement of dispersed phases through evaporation-driven flow. As a result, the solute forming a dried deposit exhibits unique patterns and often displays structural defects like desiccation cracks, buckling, or wrinkling. Various drying configurations have been utilized to study the drying of colloids, the process of their consolidation, and fluid-flow dynamics. This review focuses on the drying of colloids and the related phenomena, specifically the drying-induced effects observed during sessile drop drying. We first present a theoretical overview of the physics of drying pure and binary liquid droplets, followed by drying colloidal droplets. Then, we explain the phenomena of pattern formation and desiccation cracks. Additionally, the article briefly describes the impact of evaporation-driven flows on the accumulation of particles and various physical parameters that influence deposit patterns and cracks.
