A droplet depositing on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon, such as dew on
plant leaves. On an ideally smooth substrate, the classic Young's law has been employed to …

Cahn introduced the concept of wall energy to describe the interaction between two
immiscible fluids and a solid wall [JW Cahn, J. Chem. Phys. 66, 3667–3672 (1977)]. This …

Precise control of the evaporation of multiple droplets on patterned surfaces is crucial in
many technological applications, such as anti‐icing, coating, and high‐throughput assays …

We derive a multi-component electro-hydro-thermodynamic (EHTD) model for both leaky
and perfect dielectric materials via the principle of energy dissipation. Differing from previous …

Droplets exhibiting a myriad of shapes on surfaces are ubiquitous in both nature and
industrial applications. In high-resolution manufacturing processes, eg, semiconductor …

An apparent contact angle is formed when a droplet is deposited on a solid substrate.
Young's law has been employed to describe the equilibrium contact angle. Often in …

We deduce a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model to study the line tension
phenomenon of sessile droplets. By extending the standard Cahn-Hilliard model via …

Ternary incompressible fluid flows extensively exist in atmospheric science, chemical
engineering, and energy and power engineering, etc. The phase-field method is popular in …

Dielectric materials form the foundation of many electronic devices. When connected to a
circuit, these materials undergo changes in microscopic morphology, such as the demixing …

Liquid structures of thin-films and torus droplets are omnipresent in daily lives. The
morphological evolution of liquid structures suspending in another immiscible fluid and …
