Experimental analysis shows increased wind velocity enhances evaporation rates of sessile droplets, suggesting shear-flow winds are crucial.

An increase in wind velocity accelerates the evaporation rate of sessile droplets significantly.
Experimental data reveal that shear-flow winds near the droplet surface are more influential than freestream winds.
The dimensionless sessile evaporation rate is proportional to the shear-flow wind velocity, aligning with the proposed model.
The study highlights the dependence of evaporation dynamics on droplet geometry and wind characteristics.

Jeon et al. (2025) studied this question.
