SURFACE EVOLVER SIMULATIONS OF DROPS ON MICROPOSTS

An important feature in the design of superhydrophobic surfaces is their robustness against collapse from the CassieBaxter configuration to the Wenzel state. Upon such a transition a surface loses its properties of low adhesion and friction. We describe how to adapt the Surface Evolver algorithm to...
