A theoretical foundation for implementing surface self-cleaning can be provided by analyzing the motion of adhering droplets in airflow. When driving in rainy circumstances, self-cleaning windshield technology can efficiently guarantee driver safety. In this study, the CLSVOF method is employed to simulate a three-dimensional wind tunnel model, enabling an investigation into the dynamics of droplets adhering to a windshield under the influence of airflow. Subsequent analysis mainly focuses on the impacts of wind velocity and droplet size on the motion patterns and morphological characteristics of the droplets. The temporal evolution of the forces acting on the droplets is examined, along with a comparative analysis of the predominant forces driving droplet motion against other forms of resistance. The results demonstrate that the motion patterns of the droplets can be broadly categorized into three phases: accelerated decline, forces equilibrium, and accelerated climb. As wind speed increases, there is a noticeable reduction in the wetting length Ld, while the height of the droplets H and the dominant force influencing their motion shift from gravitational component Fgsinα to wind traction force Fwind. Moreover, an increase in droplet size accentuates the lag in changes to wetting length, droplet height, and the contact angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
