The phenomenon of droplet bouncing on superhydrophobic surfaces has received
extensive attention in the academic and industrial fields, as it is critical for various …

The growing demands for superhydrophobic materials in real-world applications, such as
anti-icing, heat management, and energy harvesting, cannot be met by solely considering …

Although the impingement of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces has been extensively
studied, the critical role of the air is typically ignored, leading to some paradoxical …

Ice accumulation on exposed surfaces is unavoidable as time elapses and the temperature
decreases sufficiently. To mitigate icing problems, various types of icephobic substrates …

Superhydrophobic surfaces decorated with macrostructures have attracted extensive
attention due to their excellent performance of reducing the contact time of impacting …

Droplets impacting on superhydrophobic surfaces with submillimetric or millimetric
macrotextures can rebound completely after a short contact time, which is of practical …

When exposed to air, gallium-based alloys rapidly form a thin oxide layer with viscoelasticity
and high adhesion. Although previous work demonstrated that an oxide layer inhibits liquid …

Hypothesis Due to the complex hydrodynamics of droplet impact on ridged
superhydrophobic surfaces, quantitative droplet spreading characteristics are unrevealed …

This study numerically investigates the bouncing characteristics of impacting droplets on
superhydrophobic sub-millimeter parallel grooves by the level-set method. Once the Weber …
