Modelling of Electrowetting-Induced Droplet Detachment and Jumping over Topographically Micro-Structured Surfaces

Detachment and jumping of liquid droplets over solid surfaces under electrowetting actuation are of fundamental interest in many microfluidic and heat transfer applications. In this study we demonstrate the potential capabilities of our continuum-level, sharp-interface modelling approach, which over...
