Description:
Author(s): P. Kant, A. L. Hazel, M. Dowling, A. B. Thompson, and A. Juel The effect of topography on μ -droplet spread is studied. Spreading is enhanced (hindered) with a positive (negative) topography gradient ahead of the contact line. A simple model combining quasistatic surface tension effects with a dynamic spreading law predicts the evolving morphology of the droplet. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 2, 094002] Published Wed Sep 06, 2017
