Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling for predicting wetting transitions (Cassie to Wenzel regimes).
  • Numerical simulations to analyze droplet behavior, including dynamic contact lines and velocity fields.
  • Comparison of theoretical predictions with numerical simulation results.

Main Results:

  • A theoretical model was developed to predict wetting transitions.
  • Numerical simulations provided detailed insights into droplet dynamics at the microscale.
  • The numerical results showed good agreement with the theoretical model's predictions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed theoretical model effectively predicts wetting transitions on micro square-post patterned surfaces.
