Study of hemiwicking with lattice Boltzmann simulations: A wetting state is dynamically trapped by pinning of imbibition front
Hemiwicking has been introduced to describe the wetting state in which a liquid film surrounds a drop. To fully understand this special wetting state, we performed energy analysis and systematic lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulations on the wetting state through spreading liquid droplets on pillared hyd...
