A dynamic wetting problem is studied for a moving thin fiber inserted in fluid and with a chemically inhomogeneous surface. A reduced model is derived for contact angle hysteresis by using the Onsager principle as an approximation tool. The model is simple and captures the essential dynamics of the contact angle. From this model we derive an upper bound of the advancing contact angle and a lower bound of the receding angle, which are verified by numerical simulations. The results are consistent with the quasi-static results. The model can also be used to understand the asymmetric dependence of the advancing and receding contact angles on the fiber velocity, which is observed recently in physical experiments reported in Guan et al Phys. Rev. Lett. 2016.

With the advent of the technology of the oleoplaned slippery surfaces as the better solution to self-cleaning, anti fouling and self-healing smart surfaces, the stability of the oil layer on the surfaces has caught a great deal of attention from the
research community. Rose petals irrespective of its superhydrophobic nature exhibits a very high adhesion owing to the hierarchical structures and can thus serve as an excellent surface to obtain a stable oil film. Also, with gradual covering of the rose petal structures by the oil the change in the adhesion force is observed to decrease and an increase in the film thickness beyond a certain height causes cloaking of the droplet and thus presents us with an optimum thickness which can give us a stable oil film and also exhibit high degree of slipperiness. The findings can be applied for further applications in droplet based microfluidics, as a low energy actuation surface, or as a self-healing and self-cleaning surface.
We study experimentally and discuss quantitatively the contact angle hysteresis on striped superhydrophobic surfaces as a function of a solid fraction, $phi_S$. It is shown that the receding regime is determined by a longitudinal sliding motion the d
eformed contact line. Despite an anisotropy of the texture the receding contact angle remains isotropic, i.e. is practically the same in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The cosine of the receding angle grows nonlinearly with $phi_S$, in contrast to predictions of the Cassie equation. To interpret this we develop a simple theoretical model, which shows that the value of the receding angle depends both on weak defects at smooth solid areas and on the elastic energy of strong defects at the borders of stripes, which scales as $phi_S^2 ln phi_S$. The advancing contact angle was found to be anisotropic, except as in a dilute regime, and its value is determined by the rolling motion of the drop. The cosine of the longitudinal advancing angle depends linearly on $phi_S$, but a satisfactory fit to the data can only be provided if we generalize the Cassie equation to account for weak defects. The cosine of the transverse advancing angle is much smaller and is maximized at $phi_Ssimeq 0.5$. An explanation of its value can be obtained if we invoke an additional energy due to strong defects in this direction, which is shown to be proportional to $phi_S^2$. Finally, the contact angle hysteresis is found to be quite large and generally anisotropic, but it becomes isotropic when $phi_Sleq 0.2$.
Oscillation of sessile drops is important to many applications. In the present study, the natural oscillation of a sessile drop on flat surfaces with free contact lines (FCL) is investigated through numerical and theoretical analysis. The FCL conditi
on represents a limit of contact line mobility, i.e. the contact angle remains constant when the contact line moves. In the numerical simulation, the interfaces are captured by the volume-of-fluid method and the contact angle at the boundary is specified using the height-function method. The oscillation frequencies for sessile drops with FCL are mainly controlled by the contact angle and the Bond number and a parametric study is carried out to characterize their effects on the frequencies for the first and high-order modes. Particular attention is paid to the frequency of the first mode, since it is usually the dominant mode. An inviscid theoretical model for the first mode is developed. The model yields an explicit expression for the first-mode frequency as a function of the contact angle and the Bond number, with all parameters involved fully determined by the equilibrium drop theory and the simulation. The predicted frequencies for a wide range of contact angles agree very well with the simulation results for small Bond numbers. The frequencies for both the first and high-order modes decrease with the contact angle and increase with the Bond number. For the high-order modes, the frequencies for different modes generally scale with the Rayleigh frequencies. The scaling relation performs better for small Bond numbers and large contact angles. A simple model is proposed to predict the frequencies of high-order modes for large contact angles and a good agreement with the simulation results is observed.
Contact angle is an important parameter in characterizing the wetting properties of fluids. The most common methods for measuring the contact angle is to measure it directly from the profile curve of a sessile drop, a method with certain inherent dra
wbacks. Here we describe an alternative method that uses the height and volume of a sessile drop as constraints to construct its profile by numerical integration of its two governing differential equations. The integration yields, self consistently, the average value of the contact angle along the entire contact line as well as the footprint radius of the drop and its crown radius of curvature. As a test case, the new method is used to obtain the contact angle of pure water on two different substrates, Teflon and Lucite. For each substrate, four drops ranging in volume from 10 {mu}l to 40 {mu}l are used. The computed contact angles are consistent across the four different drop sizes for each substrate and are in agreement with typical literature values.
We show how the capillary filling of microchannels is affected by posts or ridges on the sides of the channels. Ridges perpendicular to the flow direction introduce contact line pinning which slows, or sometimes prevents, filling; whereas ridges para
llel to the flow provide extra surface which may enhances filling. Patterning the microchannel surface with square posts has little effect on the ability of a channel to fill for equilibrium contact angle $theta_e lesssim 30^{mathrm{o}}$. For $theta_e gtrsim 60^{mathrm{o}}$, however, even a small number of posts can pin the advancing liquid front.
