This article intends to summarize our actual knowledge in plasma spraying with an
emphasis on the points where work is still in progress. It presents successively: the plasma …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a very promising technology; however, there are a number of
open issues related to the different AM processes. The literature on modelling the existing …

The maximum diameter a droplet that impacts on a surface will attain is the subject of
controversy, notably for high-velocity impacts of low-viscosity liquids such as water or blood …

We studied the impact and solidification of molten tin droplets on a stainless steel surface.
Droplet impact velocity was varied from 1.0 to 4.0 m/s and substrate temperature from 25 to …

Wettability is a tendency for a liquid to spread on a solid substrate and is generally
measured in terms of the angle (contact angle) between the tangent drawn at the triple point …

Introduction In this study, a novel numerical implementation for the adhesion of liquid
droplets impacting normally on solid dry surfaces is presented. The advantage of this new …

This is the first book to encompass the fundamental phenomenon, principles, and processes
of discrete droplets of both normal liquids and melts. It provides the reader with the science …

This paper summarizes our knowledge at the beginning of 2003 about splat formation. First,
the analytical and numerical models related to the impact and flattening of single particles …

In this paper, we present a brief historic overview of the research on dust in fusion devices
with carbon plasma-facing components and then highlight the most recent developments in …

A numerical model is used to simulate the fingering and splashing of a droplet impacting a
solid surface. A methodology is presented for perturbing the velocity of fluid near the solid …
