Drop Interface and Airflow Unsteadiness in Wind-Forced Drop Depinning
Roger L. Simon, Edward B. White
Liquid drops that are pinned to solid surfaces by contact-angle hysteresis can be dislodged by wind forcing. When this occurs at high Reynolds numbers, substantial drop-interface o…

Wind- and Gravity-Forced Drop Depinning
Edward B. White, Jason A. Schmucker
Liquid drops adhere to solid surfaces due to surface tension but can depin and run back along the surface due to wind or gravity forcing. This work develops a simple mechanistic mo…
