A Diffuse Interface Model for Electrowetting with Moving Contact Lines
We introduce a diffuse interface model for the phenomenon of electrowetting on dielectric and present an analysis of the arising system of equations. Moreover, we study discretization techniques for the problem. The model takes into account different material parameters on each phase and incorporates the most important physical processes, such as incompressibility, electrostatics and dynamic co...
متن کاملA Mixed Formulation of a Sharp Interface Model of Stokes Flow with Moving Contact Lines
Two-phase fluid flows on substrates (i.e. wetting phenomena) are important in many industrial processes, such as micro-fluidics and coating flows. These flows include additional physical effects that occur near moving (three-phase) contact lines. We present a new 2-D variational (saddlepoint) formulation of a Stokesian fluid with surface tension that interacts with a rigid substrate. The model ...
متن کاملOn the moving contact line singularity: asymptotics of a diffuse-interface model.
The behaviour of a solid-liquid-gas system near the three-phase contact line is considered using a diffuse-interface model with no-slip at the solid and where the fluid phase is specified by a continuous density field. Relaxation of the classical approach of a sharp liquid-gas interface and careful examination of the asymptotic behaviour as the contact line is approached is shown to resolve the...
متن کاملA model of electrowetting, reversed electrowetting, and contact angle saturation.
While electrowetting has many applications, it is limited at large voltages by contact angle saturation, a phenomenon that is still not well understood. We propose a generalized approach for electrowetting that, among other results, can shed new light on contact angle saturation. The model assumes the existence of a minimum (with respect to the contact angle) in the electric energy and accounts...
متن کاملA diffuse-interface model for electrowetting drops in a Hele-Shaw cell
Electrowetting has recently been explored as a mechanism for moving small amounts of fluids in confined spaces. We propose a diffuse interface model for drop motion, due to electrowetting, in a Hele-Shaw geometry. In the limit of small interface thickness, asymptotic analysis shows the model is equivalent to Hele-Shaw flow with a voltagemodified Young-Laplace boundary condition on the free surf...
