Abstract

The dynamics of functional sessile droplets placed asymmetrically on the transducer surface of a 100 kHz vibrating surface is studied. Using high-speed imaging, different regimes of spreading and atomization of the droplets are identified. The dynamics of seven different fluids, namely water, nanosilica suspension in water at three different concentrations, glycerol and water/glycerol binary mixtures at two different concentrations at the same amplitude of oscillation was investigated. The effects of fluid viscosity, surface tension and the non-Newtonian behavior of fluids on the droplet dynamics were analyzed. Fluid viscosity was found to strongly influence the droplet spread rate, deformation and emergence of capillary waves that lead to atomization.
