Universal representations of evaporation modes in sessile droplets.


ABSTRACT: In this work, we provide a simple method to represent the contact line dynamics of an evaporating sessile droplet. As a droplet evaporates, two distinct contact line dynamics are observed. They are collectively known as modes of evaporation, namely Constant Contact Radius (CCR) and Constant Contact Angle (CCA). Another intermediate mode-Stick-Slide (SS) or mixed mode is also commonly observed. In this article, we are able to provide a graphical representation to these modes (named as MOE plot), which is visually more comprehensive especially for comparative studies. In addition, the method facilitates quantitative estimation for mode of evaporation (named as MOE fraction or MOEf), which doesn't exist in literature. Thus, various substrates can now be compared based on mode of evaporation (or contact line dynamics), which are governed by fluid property and surface characteristics.
