| dc.description | This paper was presented at the 2nd Micro and Nano Flows Conference (MNF2009), which was held at Brunel University, West London, UK. The conference was organised by Brunel University and supported by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, IPEM, the Italian Union of Thermofluid dynamics, the Process Intensification Network, HEXAG - the Heat Exchange Action Group and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | A lattice Boltzmann method which can simulate droplet dynamics on partial wetting surface with large liquid-gas density ratio is proposed. The interaction between the fluid-fluid interface and the partial wetting wall is typically considered. Using the method, the dynamics of liquid drops on chemically heterogeneous surfaces are numerically simulated. The corresponding mechanisms including droplet spreading, break-up and migration on such surfaces are studied on the basis of droplet shapes, moving contact lines and velocity fields. | en_US |
