This paper provides a comprehensive review of published literatures concerning the fluid
mechanics and heat transfer mechanisms of liquid drop impact on a heated wall. The review …

This review discusses how drops can levitate on a cushion of vapor when brought in contact
with a hot solid. This is the so-called Leidenfrost phenomenon, a dynamical and transient …

Directed motion of liquid droplets is of considerable importance in various water and thermal
management technologies. Although various methods to generate such motion have been …

Current worldwide commercial activities in converting natural gas to fuels and chemicals, or
gas-to-liquids technology use slurry bubble column reactors with column sizes considerable …

In this work, subcooled droplet impact on a highly thermally conductive spherical surface
was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Specifically, the effect of Weber …

The development of numerical methods for the direct numerical simulation of two-phase
flows with phase change, in the framework of interface capturing or interface tracking …

In the past few decades, the droplet impact on a heated plate above the Leidenfrost
temperature has attracted immense research interest. The strong hydrophobicity caused by …

The subject of the present thesis is the numerical modeling and investigation of boiling
phenomena. The heat transfer during boiling is highly efficient and therefore used for many …

A numerical investigation of the evaporation process of n-heptane and water liquid droplets
impinging onto a hot substrate is presented. Three different temperatures are investigated …

In this paper, we compare numerical simulations and experiments on droplets impinging
onto a hot surface at a temperature well above the Leidenfrost point, for different impacting …
