Coupled Thermocapillary–Wettability Effects on Droplet Splitting in a Y-Shaped Microchannel

Abstract This study numerically examines the coupled influence of surface wettability and thermocapillary forces on droplet splitting in a symmetric Y-shaped microchannel using a finite element-based level-set method. A temperature field is applied along the top daughter branch,...
