The Role of Slip and No Slip Behavior On Droplet Impingement
Abstract For the identification of role of slip and no slip conditions at the solid-liquid interface in case of hydrophobic, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces, the experimentally determined velocity profiles are analysed. Before experimentation, each surface was characterized by using SEM, 2D and 3D Surface profilometer. The impact mapping results reveal that in case of hydrophobic surface, first no slip condition is achieved and then slip condition is noticed. Conversely, for superhydrophilic surface, initially slip and then no slip conditions are observed. Furthermore, in case of superhydrophobic surface, slip behaviour is observed throughout the process for the dimensionless time ranges 0.06-0.94 and this behaviour of the process promotes local enhancement of viscous and capillary forces. The experimentally obtained results are further tried to validate with the help of theoretical and visual observations.
