Dropwise condensation is favorable for numerous industrial and heat/mass transfer
applications due to the enhanced heat transfer performance that results from efficient …

It has been recently shown that small-volume droplets on lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs)
can be analytically modeled using rotationally symmetric constant mean curvature (CMC) …

The contact angle, as a vital measured parameter of wettability of material surface, has long
been in dispute whether it is affected by gravity. Herein, we measured the advancing and …

Abstract Solution of the Young-Laplace equation for fluid-fluid interface shapes is crucial in
several applications related to colloids, capillarity, and surfaces. Despite significant progress …

Superior mobility of droplets on lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) has recently attracted
significant attention for designing liquid-repellent surfaces. Unlike sessile droplets on flat …

Electron beam–directed energy deposition (EB–DED) has emerged as a promising wire-
based metal additive manufacturing technique. However, the effects of EBs on pendant …

We show that it is fundamentally inaccurate to apply force-balance models to predict the
gravity/buoyancy induced detachment of quasi-steadily growing pendant droplets/bubbles …

The profile, apparent contact angle (ACA), contact angle hysteresis (CAH), and wetting state
transmission energy barrier (WSTEB) are important static and dynamic properties of a large …

In this paper, we present a new approach for using the Surface Evolver (SE) finite element
program to simulate the 3-D shape of a droplet on a curved surface. The approach proposed …

Surface tension and contact angle measurements are fundamental characterization
techniques relevant to thermal and fluidic applications. Drop shape analysis techniques for …
