Impingement of binary nanodroplets on rough surfaces: a molecular dynamics study.

ABSTRACT: Roughness or texture endow the solid surface with the ability of some particular property of water repellency that has been employed in a variety of practical applications, including self-cleaning, icing-resistant, and so forth. However, the understanding of the dynamic evolution of impacting binary droplets on rough surfaces is not satisfactory, especially at the nanoscale. In this work, we investigate the impact process of the binary droplet system, a suspending droplet impacts a sessile one deposited on hydrophobic textured surfaces, via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Dynamic evolutions from MD simulations under various impact conditions are discussed, including coalescence, spreading, retraction and vibration, and bouncing. The free energy variation during the impacting process i
