Abstract:We present a novel method of 3-dimensional surface fitting of a droplet using ellipsoids such that the droplet is a combination of segments of two to four distinct ellipsoids. Further, this fitting method has been used to develop an analytical model estimating the volume of a droplet resting over compliant as well as non-compliant substrate. Here, we have used Glass and Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates as rigid, and, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) free-hanging thin membranes (with thickness ranging fro… Show more
