Lattice Boltzmann simulation of wetting gradient accelerating droplets merging and shedding on a circumferential surface
A lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based on Shan-Chen pseudo-potential model is used to investigate the process of droplets merging and shedding on a gradient wetting circular surface. The effects of wetting gradient, radius, and radius ratio on droplet merging and shedding were mainly explored. The r...
