Forced wetting and de-wetting on complex surfaces – Generic configuration immersed body (A01)

• Subject Area: Fluid Mechanics ; Technical Thermodynamics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 265191195

In the project, the guiding configuration immersion body is realized in two generic test rigs. Here, research questions on the influence of macroscopic structures on forced, dynamic wetting and dewetting with and without heat transport are investigated. In funding period 3, the complexity of the fluids and surfaces will be further increased in order to expand dynamic contact angle models in a targeted manner. In order to experimentally enable the greatest possible variety of dynamic movements and the complexity of the surfaces as well as modeling and numerical simulation with reasonable effort on the other, the lead configuration immersion body will be extended by a new generic arrangement Annular Gap Rise.
