摘要
Introducing surface inclination in the case of droplet impact on solid substrates results in complicated dynamics post impact. The present work investigates the dynamics involved in the spreading phase of the droplet on inclined substrates. Experiments are conducted with water droplets impinging on inclined dry solid substrates with varying wettability values. The results reveal the presence of three phases in the droplet spread behavior. In the first phase, the droplet is observed to depict a close radial symmetry and is dominated by inertia forces. Phase 1 ends when the upstream droplet lamella post impact gets pinned to the surface or starts retracting as a consequence of surface forces becoming dominant. A scaling analysis developed to predict the pinning time of the droplet shows that the pinning time is independent of impact velocity, which is also observed during experiments. The asymmetries in the radial evolution of the droplet appear in phase 2 and become dominant in phase 3. Phase 2 terminates when the droplet attains the maximum lateral spread, which is established as a function of the normal component of the Weber number. Phase 3 is initiated when the droplet starts retracting in the lateral direction while the longitudinal expansion continues. Using an energy-based model constructed to predict the maximum spread, we show that the impact inertia of the droplet controls the longitudinal droplet spread in phases 1 and 2, while the gravity forces are primarily responsible for the droplet spread in phase 3. The model results were validated with the experiments conducted in-house and were found to be in good agreement.
