Drop dynamics on chemically patterned surfaces
We compare numerical and experimental results exploring the behaviour of liquid drops moving across a surface patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. A lattice Boltzmann algorithm is used to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of the drops allowing us to investigate their behaviou...
