Topology optimization of robust superhydrophobic surfaces
A. Cavalli, P. Bøggild, F. Okkels
In this paper we apply topology optimization to micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces for the first time. It has been experimentally observed that a droplet suspended on a bru…

Modelling unidirectional liquid spreading on slanted microposts
Andrea Cavalli, Matthew L. Blow, Julia M. Yeomans
A lattice Boltzmann algorithm is used to simulate the slow spreading of drops on a surface patterned with slanted micro-posts. Gibb's pinning of the interface on the sides or top o…
