The present paper reports numerical results on the solidification process of a hollow drop on an inclined surface. The drop undergoes deformation and forms an asymmetric tip as the surface angle increases. The solidification time, however, is not affected by the surface angle. The fluid accumulates at the bottom of the drop and the bubble moves upwards before being trapped by solidification. A larger bubble reduces the tip shift. The effect of Bond number and Stefan number on solidification is also considered.
In the present paper, we report the numerical results of the solidification process of a liquid drop enclosing an air bubble, i.e., a hollow drop, on an inclined surface. The surface is tilted from 0 degrees (corresponding to a horizontal surface) to 90 degrees (corresponding to a vertical surface), and the contact angle of the drop ranges between 60 degrees and 130 degrees. The drop is deformed while solidification happens in the presence of volume expansion. This volume change results in the formation of a tip at the drop top. The tip becomes more asymmetric as the tilting angle, i.e., the surface angle, increases. However, the solidification time is not affected by the surface angle. During the initial stage of solidification, the drop liquid accumulates to the bottom, by gravity, and thus results in lowering the bubble position. The bubble then moves upwards due to buoyancy force. It stops moving as it is trapped by solidification. A larger bubble reduces the tip shift. We also consider the effect of the Bond number and the Stefan number on solidification.
