It is considered that, after a water drop contacts the base of a roughness groove, water should immediately fill this roughness groove. Subsequently, Cassie-Baxter wetting state is transited to that of Wenzel. Accordingly, one of the criteria used to judge the transition from Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel states is whether…
