Droplet spreading and permeating on the hybrid-wettability porous substrates: a lattice Boltzmann method study

The spreading and permeation of droplets on porous substrates is a fundamental process in a variety of applications, such as coating, dyeing, and printing. The spreading and permeating usually occur synchronously but play different roles in the practical applications. The mechanisms of the competiti...
