Dynamics of double-droplet centered impacting a hydrophobic surface featuring a micro-ridge Upon impact, the droplets undergo spreading and receding phases, with the total duration of these processes defined as the contact time. In this study, the latt

Simulations show two droplets hitting a micro‑structured hydrophobic surface bounce differently depending on spacing and angle. This dynamic is useful for surface engineering.
