Effect of Contact Angle Hysteresis on Evaporation Dynamics of a Sessile Drop on a Heated Surface [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022 Contact angle hysteresis (CAH) is a significant factor affecting the drop motion on solid substrates. A model of CAH is introduced to explore the influence of CAH on the dynamics of a sessile drop on a uniformly heated surface, and a two-dimensional ...

Physical Review Letters, 2010 Thin fluid films can have surprising behavior depending on the boundary conditions enforced, the energy input and the specific Reynolds number of the fluid motion. Here we study the equations of motion for a thin fluid film with a free boundary and its other interface in contact with a solid wall. Although shear dissipation increases for thinner layers

Lift force acting on a levitating drop over a moving wall
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015 We experimentally investigate a levitating drop over a moving wall. Between the drop and the wall, a thin air film exists. In this study particular attention is given to examine whether the lift force generated inside the thin air film is dominant force ...
