Dynamic Simulation of Water Droplets on Plant Leaves for Sustainable Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture

Droplet interactions with surfaces are a common phenomenon in nature and have a wide range of applications in agriculture and industry. These include on-farm disinfection, surface coating, and power transmission. Previous research has primarily focused on deposition, the bouncing behavior of droplets upon impacting stationary leaves, and the mechanical modeling and motion behavior of leaves under droplet load. However, the relationship between contact electrification (CE) and motion behavior during droplet impact on leaf surfaces remains a case study. This study investigates the interaction between electrification and motion behavior when a droplet impacts a living leaf surface as it courses. These results were close to the first studies of the experimental evaluation in the laboratory, which was 320 mV, evaluated by Maxwell's law and c compared to the evaluation performed by COMSOL, which solves by Gauss's law obtaining 0.311 mV. However, it is related to what was obtained in the experimental test.
