Droplet dynamics under shear flow on surfaces with different wettability
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Droplet dynamics on surfaces under shear flow, which affects the efficiency of water condensate removal in condensation, are significant for investigation. The influencing factors include air velocity, droplet volume and surface wettability. Three smooth surfaces (HI, HO-POTS, and HO-PDMS) and three semi-textured surfaces (HI+SHO, HO-POTS+SHO, and HO-PDMS+SHO) are fabricated. Experiments are performed for droplets with different volumes under different air velocities. A centrifugal fan is used to generate channel flow, and a high-speed camera is utilized to capture droplet behaviors. The results show that motion of droplets with small deformation on smooth surfaces can be divided into two stages (Acceleration and Constant Speed). Critical velocity for the onset of droplet motion, as well as the velocity that droplet can reach at Constant Speed Stage, is affected by air velocity, droplet volume and surface wettability. The mathematical expression of retention force is derived, and forces are calculated to verify the force balances at Constant Speed Stage. Droplet behaviors on semi-textured surfaces are much different from those on smooth surfaces, especially when crossing the boundaries between smooth and textured areas. The HO+SHO surfaces display a better performance of droplet removal compared with the HI+SHO surface. • Droplet dynamics under shear flow is largely affected by surface wettability. • Mathematical expression of retention force induced by surface tension is derived. • HO-PDMS has the most positive effect in droplet movement among the smooth surfaces. • HO-PDMS+SHO has the best effect of droplet removal among the semi-textured surfaces.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
