| Abstract | Surface roughness affects the contact angle (CA) due to the increased area of solid–liquid interface and due to the effect of sharp edges of rough surfaces. Roughness may also lead to another non-wetting regime, by forming a composite solid–liquid–air interface between the water and the textured surface; this composite interface exhibits strong water repellency due to the various pockets of air entrapped between the surface textures. The contact between water and a hydrophobic textured surface leads to one of these two regimes depending on the thermodynamics stability of the regimes. In this study, the projection method of lattice Boltzmann method is used to analyze the large density difference at the air and water interface. The method is applied to simulate two-phase flows with the density ratio of up to 1,000. A numerical model is presented to provide a relationship between roughness and CA, which is used to develop optimized texture topography and create a biomimetic superhydrophobic surface. The numerical models encompass the effects of contact area, solid–liquid–gas composite interface and shape edges. The models are reused to analyze different possible roughness distributions and to calculate the effect of the cross-sectional area of pillars, including rectangular, triangular, cross, and pyramidal pillars. The energy barrier is investigated to predict the position of the transition between the Cassie and Wenzel regime observed for each roughness parameter as well as a theoretical free surface energy model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
