Numerical Study of the Most Stable Contact Angle of Drops on Tilted Surfaces
We present results for the most stable contact angle using a numerical implementation of the tilting plate method of Montes et al. (Montes Ruiz-Cabello, F. J.; Rodriguez-Valverde, M.

| Zusammenfassung: | We present results for the most stable contact angle using a numerical implementation of the tilting plate method of Montes et al. (Montes Ruiz-Cabello, F. J.; Rodriguez-Valverde, M. A.; Cabrerizo-Vilchez, M. Soft Matter 2011, 7, 10457–10461). Comparison with the experimental results is made, obtaining a good agreement in most situations. In addition, the evolution of the contact angles of a tilted drop with a fixed circular line is analyzed. This analysis allows one to theoretically predict the most stable contact angle for tilted drops. |
