Spray drying for powder production has a wide range of applications. On-aim control of surface morphology of spray dried particles is critical for achieving improved powder quality. This work aims at a molecular scale coarse-grained model that can characterize evaporation induced self-assembly of solute during the drying process. Thus
surface morphology evolution under different drying conditions can be predicted. The lattice Monte Carlo model developed in this work can take care of spherical shaped solute molecules and comprehensive interactions between species in the system. The analysis method is capable of quantifying solvent residue and solute distribution as well as its assembly structure. The simulations carried out in 2D show that different assembly structures can be formed under investigated conditions. The decrease of solvent chemical potential energy leads to the decreased solvent residual ratio. With the increase of initial solute concentration
the final assembly pattern changes from disk-shape to net-shape. Furthermore
assembly patterns can be tailored through manipulating interactions between species in the system.
