Average cluster size inside sediment left after droplet desiccation

Abstract

In this work, we continue to study the formation of particle chains (clusters) inside the annular sediment during the drying of a colloidal droplet on a substrate. The average value of the cluster size was determined after processing experimental data from other authors. We performed a series of calculations and found the value of the model parameter allowed to get numerical results agreed with the experiment. Also, a modification of the previously proposed algorithm is analyzed here.
