Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Several
countries have experienced repeated periods of major spreading over the last two years …

This review reports the recent progress and future prospects of wettability gradient surfaces
(WGSs), particularly focusing on the governing principles, fabrication methods, classification …

In this paper, a two-dimensional hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) method coupled with
the leaky dielectric model was firstly presented to study droplet evaporation on a heated …

Evaporation of a binary mixture droplet (BMD) is a common natural phenomenon and widely
applied in many industrial fields. For the case of a sessile BMD being the only contact-line …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

We investigate the evaporation dynamics of a sessile droplet of ethanol–water binary
mixtures of different compositions laden with alumina nanoparticles and compare with the …

In many printing technologies involving multicomponent liquids, the deposition and printing
quality depend on the small-scale transport processes present. For liquids with dispersed …

The behavior and dynamics of droplet spreading are pivotal phenomena that exert a
profound influence on numerous scientific disciplines, technological advancements, and …

We experimentally investigate the evaporation of water–ethanol binary sessile droplets
loaded with alumina nanoparticles on a critically inclined heated surface and compare it to …
