Contact angle influence on the pull-in voltage of microswitches in the presence of capillary and quantum vacuum effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Capillary condensation between the electrodes of microswitches influences the effective pull-in voltage in a manner that depends on the contact angle of the capillary meniscus and the presence of plate surface roughness.

The Possibility of Changing the Wettability of Material Surface by Adjusting Gravity

open access: yesResearch, 2020
The contact angle, as a vital measured parameter of wettability of material surface, has long been in dispute whether it is affected by gravity. Herein, we measured the advancing and receding contact angles on extremely low contact angle hysteresis ...

Numerical Study of Formation of a Series of Bubbles from an Orifice by Applying Dynamic Contact Angle Model

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
The dynamic contact angle model is applied in the formation process of a series of bubbles from Period-I regime to Period-II regime by using the VOF method on a 2D axisymmetric domain.

The contact angle in inviscid fluid mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We show that in general, the specification of a contact angle condition at the contact line in inviscid fluid motions is incompatible with the classical field equations and boundary conditions generally applicable to them.

Experimental consideration for contact angle and force acting on bubble under nucleate pool boiling

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
Pool boiling experiments are performed within an isolated bubble regime at inclination angles of 0° and 45°. When a bubble grows and departs from the heating surface, the pressure, buoyancy, and surface tension force play important roles.

A new model for contact angle hysteresis

open access: yesNetworks and Heterogeneous Media, 2007
We present a model which explains several experimental observations relating contact angle hysteresis with surface roughness. The model is based on the balance between released capillary energy and dissipation associated with motion of the contact line ...

The Effect of Patterned Micro-Structure on the Apparent Contact Angle and Three-Dimensional Contact Line

open access: yesFluids, 2021
The measurement of the apparent contact angle on structured surfaces is much more difficult to obtain than on smooth surfaces because the pinning of liquid to the roughness has a tremendous influence on the three phase contact line. The results presented

A noise-resistant ADSA-PH algorithm for superhydrophobic surface’s static contact angle evaluation

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2017
The blur around the contact points significantly decreases the evaluated static contact angle for superhydrophobic surface which is clearly presented in the paper. To improve the accuracy in the evaluated static contact angle for superhydrophobic surface,
