Modeling receding contact lines on superhydrophobic surfaces.

We use mesoscale simulations to study the depinning of a receding contact line on a superhydrophobic surface patterned by a regular array of posts. For the simulations to be feasible, we introduce a novel geometry where a column of liquid dewets a capillary bounded by a superhydrophobic plane that f...
