Detachment and jumping of liquid droplets over solid surfaces under electrowetting actuation are of fundamental interest in many microfluidic and heat transfer applications. In this study we demonstrate the potential capabilities of our continuum-level, sharp-interface modelling approach, which overcomes some important limitations of convectional hydrodynamic models, when simulating droplet detachment and jumping dynamics over flat and micro-structured surfaces. Preliminary calculations reveal a ...[more]
