Moving droplets on asymmetrically structured surfaces

It is shown theoretically and experimentally that a liquid droplet can move on a surface structured with a locally asymmetric pattern when a breathing of the drop is induced by external means. Two different situations can be envisioned: a drop whose volume is modulated and a drop whose equilibrium c...
