After the nanofluids are fully dried, the self-assembled nanoparticles can form various structures on the substrate. The fractal-like patterns are among them. The two-dimensional Kinetic Monte Carlo model is developed to predict the drying patterns of the nanofluids in an open domain, where the dewe...
