Thermocapillary Droplet Actuation : Effect of Solid Structure and Wettability

We examine the thermocapillary-driven flow of a droplet on a nonuniformly heated patterned surface. Using a sharp-interface scheme, capable of efficiently modeling the flow over complex surfaces, we perform 2D and 3D finite element simulations for a wide range of substrate wettabilities, i.e., from...
