Dynamics of droplets on cones: Self-propulsion due to curvature gradients
We study the dynamics of droplets driven by a gradient of curvature, as may be achieved by placing a drop on the surface of a cone. The curvature gradient induces a pressure gradient within the drop, which in turn leads to spontaneous propulsion of the droplet. To investigate the resulting driving f...
