Abstract:Using the VOF model, two-dimensional numerical simulation of the contact angle of the slag on the surface of the square column structure with different intrinsic contact angles and sizes was carried out. The contact angle of the slag on the square column structure was measured. The measurement results show that the slag is in the Cassie wetting state on the surface with different intrinsic contact angles and different square column structure sizes. The simulation results are compared with the square column structure. Comparing the simulation results with the calculated results of the contact angle equation of the Cassie wetting state with the square column structure size, it is found that on the coating surface with the intrinsic contact angle greater than 90°, the presence of the square column structure increases the appearance of the slag contact angle. The contact angle value of the simulation result is in good agreement with the calculated value by the contact angle equation, and the error is less than 10%.
