Droplet on a fiber: Geometrical shape and contact angle
This paper is concerned with the geometrical shape, wetting length, and contact angle of a microdroplet on a fiber by using the method free energy variation. The governing equation and relevant boundary conditions of the microdroplet were re-derived based on the free energy variation of the droplet/fiber system. The geometrical shape of the droplet was determined as the combination of Legendre’...
متن کاملMagnetically induced decrease in droplet contact angle on nanostructured surfaces.
We report a magnetic technique for altering the apparent contact angle of aqueous droplets deposited on a nanostructured surface. Polymeric tubes with embedded superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles were prepared via layer-by-layer deposition in the 800 nm diameter pores of polycarbonate track-etched (PCTE) membranes. Etching away the original membrane yields a superparamagnetic ...
متن کاملEffect of contact angle hysteresis on thermocapillary droplet actuation
Open microfluidic devices based on actuation techniques such as electrowetting, dielectrophoresis, or thermocapillary stresses require controlled motion of small liquid droplets on the surface of glass or silicon substrates. In this article we explore the physical mechanisms affecting thermocapillary migration of droplets generated by surface temperature gradients on the supporting substrate. U...
متن کاملSimulation of Droplet Impact with Dynamic Contact Angle Boundary Conditions
The numerical simulation of dynamic wetting processes is of interest for a vast variety of industrial processes, where practical experiments are costly and timeconsuming. In these simulations, the dynamic contact angle is a key parameter, but the modeling of its behavior is poorly understood so far. In this article, we simulate droplet impact on a dry flat surface by using two different contact...
متن کاملShape and geometrical parameter effects of a bimorph piezoelectric beam on energy harvesting performance
In this paper, the shape influence of piezoelectric beams including triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, inverted trapezoid, convex parabola, concave parabola, and comb-shaped (a combination of two triangular beams with a connector of 4 mm length) are addressed and analyzed by FEM. The analysis is performed for a bimorph piezoelectric beam. The analyzed parameters include the beam length, thickness ...
