Numerical Study of Anisotropic Wetting of Nano-Droplets on Chemically Patterned Surfaces, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
This study investigates three-dimensional modeling of nanodroplets over chemically patterned surfaces. The pattern can be established by changing the contact angle on the surface. The problem is studied numerically by solving the thin film equations.Both the long-range and short-range inter-molecular interactions are considered. The numerical procedure is validated by using the theoretical studies. The effects of parameters such as the size of the droplets, the gradient of the surface, and the slip coefficient on the dynamics and speed of droplets and the shape of them during the motion are inspected.By examining the dynamics of the system it is revealed that the velocity of the droplets...
