In the study, the effect of submillimeter groove width and impact velocity on the
hydrophobicity of a textured substrate is investigated via three-dimensional direct numerical …

Decorating a surface with pillars and grooves has been proved effective in enhancing its
hydrophobicity. However, the poor stability of the non-wetting state is the main reason for …

Static and dynamic hydrophobicity is of importance to many industries. Since structures at
the nano-scale influence wetting at the macro-scale, molecular dynamics simulations were …

The dynamics of droplets impinging on different microtextured superhydrophobic surfaces
are modeled with CFD combined with VOF (Volume of Fluid) technique. The method is …

Micro-textures are a well-known measure to increase surface hydrophobicity. Here, we
experimentally investigate the impact of falling water droplets (diameter 2.1 mm, impact …

In this work, the volume-of-fluid (VOF) model is applied to numerically study the micro
droplet impact on the structured superhydrophobic surface with a large range of impact …

The impact characteristics of liquid droplet on the nano-textured superhydrophobic surface
have been investigated experimentally and numerically to understand the underlying …

Surfaces with nonuniform wettability have attracted much attention recently due to their
academic significance and applications in droplet lateral motion. In this study, numerical …

Mixed-wettability surfaces have been extensively adopted to manipulate impact dynamics of
droplets. In this work, a three-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the …

Droplet impact dynamics on a superhydrophobic surface with a cubic protrusion was
simulated by the lattice Boltzmann method and the contact time reduction mechanism due to …
