Gradient dynamics model for drops of volatile liquid on a porous substrate
Simon Hartmann, Uwe Thiele
We present a mesoscopic hydrodynamic model for a spreading drop of volatile partially wetting liquid on a solid porous layer of small thickness. Thereby, evaporation takes place un…

Drops on polymer brushes -- advances in thin-film modelling of adaptive substrates
Simon Hartmann, Jan Diekmann, Daniel Greve +1
We briefly review recent advances in the hydrodynamic modeling of the dynamics of droplets on adaptive substrates, in particular, solids that are covered by polymer brushes. Thereb…

Gradient dynamics model for drops spreading on polymer brushes
Uwe Thiele, Simon Hartmann
When a liquid drop spreads on an adaptive substrate the latter changes its properties what may result in an intricate coupled dynamics of drop and substrate. Here we present a gene…
