- •
Directional wetting on stripe-patterned surfaces gives rise to anisotropic droplets.
- •
Power of lattice Boltzmann modeling to describe kinetic effects is demonstrated.
- •
Lattice Boltzmann simulations are compared to Surface Evolver results.
- •
Wetting of a single stripe reveals the maximum attainable aspect ratio.
- •
Both simulation approaches enable accurate design of functional coatings to control wetting.
