Fig. 5. Electrostatic pressure distribution along the droplets free surface in the vicinity of the three-phase contact line for different dielectric thicknesses, and for η = 0.8. The horizontal part at the left side corresponds to the solid/liquid interface, the peak corresponds to the TPL, and the right part corresponds to the liquid/ambient interface, respectively. (A local magnification of the right part of the curves is shown in the inset).
