Numerical investigation of the self-propulsion mechanism of a droplet on a hot ratchet surface

This study presents numerical simulations to elucidate the self-propulsion of a liquid droplet on a hot ratchet surface, where complete film boiling occurs. Although the viscous mechanism is widely recognized, its role remains under debate. To precisely predict the movement of a tiny droplet on a ho...
