Droplet spreading on rough surfaces: tackling the contact line boundary condition
Nikolaos T. Chamakos, Michail E. Kavousanakis, Andreas G. Boudouvis +1
The complicated dynamics of the contact line of a moving droplet on a solid substrate often hamper the efficient modeling of microfluidic systems. In particular, the selection of t…
Modeling of multiple three phase contact lines of liquid droplets on geometrically patterned surfaces: continuum and mesoscopic analysis
Nikolaos T. Chamakos, Michail E. Kavousanakis, Athanasios G. Papathanasiou
By solving the Young Laplace equation of capillary hydrostatics one can accurately determine equilibrium shapes of droplets on relatively smooth solid surfaces. The solution, howev…
Engineering the geometry of stripe-patterned surfaces towards efficient wettability switching
Michail E. Kavousanakis, Carlos E. Colosqui, Athanasios G. Papathanasiou
The ability to control wettability is important for a wide range of technological applications in which precise microfluidic handling is required. It is known that predesigned roug…
