| contents | In this study, the thermocapillary actuation behavior of an odd viscous droplet on a uniformly heated surface is numerically investigated using a phase-field-based lattice Boltzmann method. The numerical results reveal that unlike a conventional viscous droplet that remains stationary on a uniformly heated surface, the presence of odd viscosity converts tangential Marangoni stresses into asymmetric normal stresses along the interface, thereby inducing spontaneous droplet motion. Specifically, when the odd viscosity coefficient is positive (negative), the droplet migrates toward the right (left). Additionally, due to the enhanced interfacial temperature gradient, the droplet migration velocity consistently increases with the contact angle. Further, it is observed that the droplet's migration velocity decreases with an increasing viscosity ratio between the surrounding fluid and the droplet. Finally, as the droplet is placed on an inclined surface, its migration direction and velocity are governed by the interaction between gravity and the odd viscosity-induced force, and in certain cases, the droplet can even climb upward against gravity. |
