Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 265191195
The project is dedicated to investigating the frictional force of a moving droplet on surfaces. Based on the findings to date, the measurement method is to be expanded in funding period 3 to enable the characterization of surfaces and fluids. The roughness and chemical heterogeneity of solid surfaces are to be determined with spatial resolution from the visual recording of the drop movement. Machine learning methods will also be used for image processing. In addition, the influences of surface adaptation, charge separation, viscous energy dissipation and mechanical deformation will be investigated.
