Morphological Changes of Small Viscous Droplets under Spreading
نویسنده
چکیده
– Dynamics of spreading of viscous non volatile fluid droplets on surfaces is modelled using a solid on solid model, which is studied with Monte Carlo simulations. Tendency for dynamical layering and surface attraction are in part embedded into the effective dynamics of the model. This allows a description of the spreading process with a single parameter, which strongly influences the morphology of the droplets. The results qualitatively reproduce many experimentally observed density profiles for polymeric fluids, including rounded droplet shapes, and dynamical layering. PACS numbers: 68.10Gw, 05.70.Ln, 61.20.Ja.

Simulations of Solid–on–Solid Models of Spreading of Viscous Droplets
We have studied the dynamics of spreading of viscous non–volatile fluids on surfaces by Monte Carlo simulations of solid–on–solid (SOS) models. We have concentrated on the complete wetting regime, with surface diffusion barriers neglected for simplicity. First, we have performed simulations for the standard SOS model. Formation of a single precursor layer, and a density profile with a spherical...
متن کاملDynamic Behavior of Non-Newtonian Droplets Impinging on Solid Surfaces
This article illustrates the spreading and receding characteristics of non-Newtonian droplets impinging on solid surfaces at different Weber numbers. A xanthan gum solution was used to generate non-Newtonian droplets. From digital images captured using a high speed camera, spreading diameters and dynamic contact angles (DCA) were measured during the impact process. Depending on impact velocity,...
متن کاملStatistical Modeling for Oblique Collision of Nano and Micro Droplets in Plasma Spray Processes
Spreading and coating of nano and micro droplets on solid surfaces is important in a wide variety of applications including plasma spray coating, ink jet printing, DNA synthesis and etc. In spraying processes, most of droplets collide obliquely to the surface. The purpose of this article is to study the distribution of nano and micro droplets spreading when droplets impact at an oblique a...

متن کاملInitial spreading kinetics of high-viscosity droplets on anisotropic surfaces.
Liquid droplets on chemically patterned surfaces consisting of alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic stripes exhibit an elongated shape. To assess the dynamics during droplet formation, we present experimental results on the spreading of glycerol droplets on such surfaces using a high-speed camera. Two spreading regimes are observed. Initially, in what is referred to as the inertial regime, t...
