Evaporation of a sessile droplet on flat surfaces: an axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model with consideration of contact angle hysteresis by Zhang, Chaoyang, Zhang, Hui, Zhang, Xuan, Yang, Chun, Cheng, Ping

“…Specifically, we compute the local mass transfer rate on the droplet surface from the simulated velocity field to show that the evaporation rate near the triple-phase contact region is much higher than that at the droplet apex region, with the peak heat flux occurring near the location of the dynamic contact line. …”
