Abstract

This work is a fundamental study on the movement of various sized micro-liter droplets on a surface subjected to temperature gradients by high speed CCD camera and numerical predictions based on first principle equations. The study indicates that the differences and the change of dynamic receding/advancing contact angles and temperature gradients across the droplets are the key parameters determining the moving behavior.
