| Zusammenfassung: | In this study, the dynamics of initially stationary liquid drops on smooth and topographic inclined silicon surfaces was investigated experimentally and by lattice Boltzmann simulations. The transient contact angles and the critical angle of inclination were measured systematically for different liquids, drop sizes, and surfaces having different wettability and surface roughness. In general, the critical angle of inclination is larger for hydrophilic than for hydrophobic surfaces, irrespective of the liquids, and increases with increasing contact angle hysteresis and decreasing drop sizes. A two-phase liquid-vapor lattice Boltzmann model based on the Shan and Chen approach was developed for two dimensions which incorporates the wetting and topographic characteristics of the surface. The simulation results matched the experimentally found features quantitatively and allowed one to explore the roll-off behavior even in cases that can hardly be accessed experimentally |
