Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Wetting on Wavelike Nanorough Surfaces

A Molecular Dynamics (MD) technique is proposed to simulate the motion of water nanodroplets on wavelike nanorough surfaces and the contact angle is evaluated. Results obtained through MD simulations, in agreement with the experimental evidence, suggest that the contact angle can be increased by fol...
