Abstract

This paper aims to study the dynamic response of the fractal Fangzhu’s forced device to elucidate how the harvester device’s surface fractal patterned influences water molecules’ motion due to the increase or reduction of the wave velocity. It is also investigated under which conditions the oscillation amplitude favors the complete water removal from Fangzhu fractal surface device. Based on the approximate fractal frequency–amplitude relation derived using an ancient Chinese algorithm, and by varying the value of the fractal dimension parameter linked to the material surface morphology, it was found that the Fangzhu water harvester device can efficiently capture microscopic water droplets if the surface morphology is such that the fractal dimension [Formula: see text] is less than one. This condition can be used to develop superhydrophobic surfaces mimicking fractal patterned surface structures.
