Droplet Removal by Capillary Lifting
Ke Sun, Jack R. Panter, Alvin C. M. Shek +3
The removal of liquid droplets from solid surfaces is central to cleaning, coatings and oil recovery. Here we investigate liquid droplets capillary lifted by an immiscible working…
The Diffuse Solid Method for Wetting and Multiphase Fluid Simulations in Complex Geometries
Fandi Oktasendra, Michael Rennick, Samuel J. Avis +2
We develop a diffuse solid method that is versatile and accurate for modeling wetting and multiphase flows in highly complex geometries. In this scheme, we harness N + 1-component…
Multiple Equilibria Enables Tunable Wetting of Droplets on Patterned Liquid Surfaces
Xitong Zhang, Hongyu Zhao, Jack R. Panter +4
Patterning solid surfaces with varying wettability is important to manage droplets in microfluidics, heat transfer and printing. Solid surface roughness poses fundamental limitatio…
