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…
