Thermocapillary migration in tribological systems such as gearboxes, piston ring-liner
assemblies, or bearings can lead to lubricant starvation and, consequently, to severe …

The Marangoni effect—often invoked to describe the so-called “tears of wine”—is in essence
the mass transfer along an interface between two fluids due to a gradient of the surface …

Marangoni flow, a surface shear flow, is a promising option for propulsion when controlling
liquid droplet motion on solid substrates. However, the applicability of Marangoni flow …

The initial spreading of glycerol and silicon oil droplets on smooth, corrugated, and
orthogonal surfaces is numerically investigated by an effective, sharp-interface modeling …

This study uses an efficient, continuum-level modeling method to investigate the spreading
and retraction dynamics of viscous droplets impact on flat solid surfaces. The main …

The control of liquid motion on the micrometer scale is important for many liquid transport
and biomedical applications. An efficient way to trigger liquid motion is by introducing …

The controlled migration of droplets is of great significance in industrial applications and
scientific investigation. In this study, a three-dimensional model with a level-set method is …

The interplay between the solid surface properties and transport phenomena during sessile
droplet evaporation is extremely important in solid deposition processes. Engineering …

The movement and deformation of droplet is widely applied in many fields. In this study, to
investigate the dynamics of droplets moving on surfaces with different wettability driven by …

We present a comprehensive computational physics-based study of the influence of surface
wettability on the displacement behavior of a droplet in a three-dimensional bifurcating …
