Wetting on physically patterned solid surfaces : the relevance of molecular dynamics simulations to macroscopic systems

We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the wetting of Lennard-Jones cylindrical droplets on surfaces patterned with grooves. By scaling the surface topography parameters with the droplet size, we find that the preferred wetting modes and contact angles become independent of the droplet...
