Equilibrium of drops on inclined hydrophilic surfaces [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2001 Why does not gravity make drops slip down the inclined surfaces, e.g., plant leaves? The current explanation is based on the existence of surface inhomogeneities, which cause a sustaining force that pins the contact line. Following this theory, the drop remains in equilibrium until a critical value of the sustaining force is reached.

Experimental Analysis of Heat Transfer with Dropwise and Filmwise Condensation on Inclined Double Tubes Heat Exchanger [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2014 Dropwise condensation provides larger heat transfer coefficients compared to filmwise condensation, as discovered in the year 1930 by Schmid et al. Dropwise condensation can be described as a phenomenon of the incomplete wettability of a surface.
