On the other hand, the behavior of droplets and interfaces in today's microsystems is complicated and involves complex 3D geometrical considerations. From a numerical standpoint, the treatment of interfaces separating different immiscible phases is difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a chapter dedicated to the general theory of wetting, this practical book successively details:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe theory of 3D liquid interfaces \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe formulas for volume and surface of sessile and pancake droplets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe behavior of sessile droplets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe behavior of droplets between tapered plates and in wedges \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe behavior of droplets in microchannels \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe effect of capillarity with the analysis of capillary rise \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe onset of spontaneous capillary flow in open microfluidic systems \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe interaction between droplets, like engulfment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe theory and application of electrowetting\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe state of the art for the approach of 3D-microelectronics using capillary alignment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120013263088,"sku":"9781118401330","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118401330_p0.jpg?v=1769888274","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118401330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
