Phase-field simulation of impingement and spreading of micro-sized droplet on heterogeneous surface

A numerical investigation on the impingement and spreading of a micro-sized droplet with nonzero impact velocities on a surface with heterogeneous wettability is presented in this paper. The numerical model was implemented through phase-field simulation with finite element formulation. A simple sche...
