Small droplets on superhydrophobic substrates.
We investigate the wetting behavior of liquid droplets on rough hydrophobic substrates for the case of droplets that are of comparable size to the surface asperities. Using a simple three-dimensional analytical free-energy model, we have shown in a recent letter [M. Gross, F. Varnik, and D. Raabe, EPL 88, 26002 (2009)] that, in addition to the well-known Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states, there e...
متن کاملOn the thermocapillary motion of deformable droplets
In studies on Marangoni type motion of particles the surface tension is often approximated as a linear function of temperature. For deformable particles in a linear external temperature gradient far from the reference point this approximation yields a negative surface tension which is physically unrealistic. It is shown that H. Zhou and R. H. Davis (J. Colloid Interface Sci., 181, 60, (1996)) p...
متن کاملSmoothed particle hydrodynamics-based numerical investigation on sessile, oscillating droplets.
Forced oscillations in sessile droplets can be exploited in electrowetting mixing of fluid fractions. The necessary complex flows and large shape deformations require a numerical investigation of fluid dynamics in the transient regime. We provide a means to characterize oscillations qualitatively and quantitatively with the goal to examine and to classify flow patterns occurring inside. A super...
متن کاملDispensing picoliter droplets on substrates using dielectrophoresis
Liquid dielectrophoresis is exploited to initiate rapid, transient flow of aqueous liquids along co-planar electrodes patterned on insulating substrates. The flow induced by the non-uniform electric field leads to a new electrostatic equilibrium. A reduced-order model predicts the transient motion of the rivulet. When the field is removed, capillary instability breaks up the rivulet into regula...
متن کاملEvaporation of droplets on strongly hydrophobic substrates.
The manner in which the extreme modes of droplet evaporation (namely, the constant contact radius and the constant contact angle modes) become indistinguishable on strongly hydrophobic substrates is described. Simple asymptotic expressions are obtained which provide good approximations to the evolutions of the contact radius, the contact angle, and the volume of droplets evaporating in the extr...
