Hybrid energy-minimization simulation of equilibrium droplet shapes on hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterned surfaces

We have developed an efficient algorithm for simulating the equilibrium shape of a microdroplet placed on a flat substrate that has a fine, discontinuous, and arbitrarily shaped hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterned surface. The method uses a hybrid energy-minimization technique that combines the direct...
