Anisotropic hysteresis on ratcheted superhydrophobic surfaces
We consider the equilibrium behaviour and dynamics of liquid drops on a superhydrophobic surface patterned with sawtooth ridges or posts. Due to the anisotropic geometry of the surface patterning, the contact line can preferentially depin from one side of the ratchets, leading to a novel, partially...
