Abstract
Reduction in contact time and area between the rebounding droplet and the solid surface has attracted great attention due to the potential applications in many fields, such as self-cleaning and anti-icing. In this paper, we provide an alternative strategy for designing a functional surface, craterlike structure, with which the interaction parameter (the integration of contact area over time) can be reduced by over . Systematic investigations on the parameters of craterlike structure, including its diameter, depth, and landing location, have been conducted by a particle-based numerical method, many-body dissipative particle dynamics. This work could be helpful for the design and preparation technology of functional surfaces.
