Simple model for drops on elastic substrates — •Christopher Henkel1, Uwe Thiele1, and Jacco Snoeijer21Institut für Theoretische Physik, WWU-Münster, Germany — 2Fac. of Science and Technologie, University Twente, Netherlands

The investigation of the wetting behavior on viscoelastic or elastic substrates is of great interest. In this talk we present a simple model for steady liquid drops on fully compressible elastic substrates and show that a double transition of contact angles appears under variation of the substrate softness, similar to the one described in [1]. We further discuss whether these angles agree with the Neumann and Young-Laplace conditions in the liquid-liquid and liquid-solid limit respectively and how the transitions depend on drop size. Finally, we employ a gradient dynamics model in the long-wave limit and show first results of direct time simulations.
