dc.descriptionThis paper was presented at the 3rd Micro and Nano Flows Conference (MNF2011), which was held at the Makedonia Palace Hotel, Thessaloniki in Greece. The conference was organised by Brunel University and supported by the Italian Union of Thermofluiddynamics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University of Thessaly, IPEM, the Process Intensification Network, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Heat Transfer Society, HEXAG - the Heat Exchange Action Group, and the Energy Institute.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe finite element framework developed for the high accuracy computation of dynamic wetting phenomena in Sprittles & Shikhmurzaev, Int. J. Num. Meth. Fluids 2011 is used to develop a code for the simulation of unsteady flows such as microdrop impact and spreading. The accuracy of the code for describing free-surface flows is tested by comparing its results to those obtained in previous numerical studies for the large amplitude oscillations of free liquid drops in zero gravity. The capability of our code to produce high resolution benchmark calculations for dynamic wetting flows, using either conventional modelling or the more sophisticated interface formation model, is demonstrated by simulating microdrop impact and spreading on surfaces of greatly differing wettability. The simulations allow one to see features of the drop shape which are beyond the resolution of experiments. Directions of our research programme that follows the presented study are outlined.en_US
