topic of enduring scientific interest that is key to numerous physical and biological …

Drying drops of colloidal dispersions have attracted attention from researchers since the
nineteenth century. The multiscale nature of the problem involving physics at different …

Inspired by the natural fog collection of the Namib beetles and desert cacti, a bioinspired
design (BID) needle with a remarkable wettability gradient is introduced. Previous studies …

Drying of droplets on inclined substrates is relevant to applications such as spray coating,
ink-jet printing, and crime-scene reconstruction. Recent experiments have shown that …

Hypothesis Evaporation of surfactant droplets on leaves is complicated due to the complex
physical and chemical properties of the leaf surfaces. However, for certain leaf surfaces for …

Controllable accumulation of carbon nanotubes in self-assembly techniques is of critical
importance in smart patterning and printed electronics. This study investigates how inclining …

A three-dimensional numerical model is developed to explore the evaporation of a small
water droplet sessile on inclined surfaces. Important transport mechanisms, including …

Evaporation of sessile drops deformed by gravity is quantified by an analytical–numerical
approach. The shape of the drops is defined by minimizing the interfacial and potential drop …

Building on the recent theoretical work of Wray et al.[J. Fluid Mech. 884, A45 (2020) JFLSA7
