The breakup dynamics of a capillary bridge on a hydrophobic stripe between two hydrophilic stripes is studied using experimental and numerical methods. The breakup process is evaluated in a phase space representation to reduce uncertainty in determining precise breakup time. The study finds that the breakup of the capillary bridge cannot be characterized by a unique scaling relationship, and different scaling exponents apply at different stages of the breakup process.
The breakup dynamics of a capillary bridge on a hydrophobic stripe between two hydrophilic stripes is studied experimentally and numerically using direct numerical simulations. The capillary bridge is formed from an evaporating water droplet wetting three neighboring stripes of a chemically patterned surface. By considering the breakup process in a phase space representation, the breakup dynamics can be evaluated without the uncertainty in determining the precise breakup time. The simulations are based on the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method implemented in Free Surface 3D (FS3D). In order to construct physically realistic initial data for the VOF simulation, Surface Evolver is employed to calculate an initial configuration consistent with experiments. Numerical instabilities at the contact line are reduced by a novel discretization of the Navier-slip boundary condition on staggered grids. The breakup of the capillary bridge cannot be characterized by a unique scaling relationship. Instead, at different stages of the breakup process different scaling exponents apply, and the structure of the bridge undergoes a qualitative change. In the final stage of breakup, the capillary bridge forms a liquid thread that breaks up consistently with the Rayleigh-Plateau instability. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
