A simulation method is developed herein based on the particle finite element method
(PFEM) to simulate processes with surface tension and phase change. These effects are …

Analysis of drop spreading and sliding on solid substrates is critical for many industrial
applications, such as microfluidic devices, cooling towers, and fuel cells. A new three …

A particle finite element method-based model is proposed to analyze droplet dynamics
problems, particularly droplet spreading on solid substrates (wetting). The model uses an …

The general discrete scheme of time-varying Reynolds equation loses the information of the
previous step, which makes it unreasonable. A discretization formula of the Reynolds …

Liquid drop dynamics on solid surfaces play an important role both in nature and
engineered applications. The prediction of drop spreading and/or sliding motions has far …

In recent years, the biomedical industry has shown increased interest in using numerical
methods to assist in the R&D of medical devices. The long-term goal is to reduce the costly …
