Anisotropic imbibition on surfaces patterned with polygonal posts

Soft Condensed Matter 2012-07-17 v1

Abstract

We present and interpret lattice Boltzmann simulations of thick films spreading on surfaces patterned with polygonal posts. We show that the mechanism of pinning and depinning differs with the direction of advance, and demonstrate that this leads to anisotropic spreading within a certain range of material contact angles.
